Missions & Complexes

not everybody has access to better isk/hr than missioning. unless you mean station trading in which case i modify my statement to 'not everyone is resistant to brain-eating activities.'

iirc security agents will send you to a system within the same constellation, so if there's a low sec system within said constellation, there is a chance that you will be sent there.

What you'll find is that I don't decline them, and I like the risk sometimes of going to low-sec to do a mission.

Also on a similar note I sometimes decline the Faction Kill missions because I don't want to take the faction standing hit. Please CCP take these missions away!!!
What's the point if people decline them?

So many unhelpful answers here, let me try to help you.

1) It is very rare for an agent to give you kill missions outside the constellation you are in. Find an agent in a constellation without losec.

2) Second find a system that is within a jump or two of other lvl 4 agents, preferably agents of different factions. The 4 hour wait for non-faction missions becomes an non-issue.

This use to not be a big problem since the agent mission pool use to give you missions in heavily populated systems before lower populated systems, then they 'fixed' this problem. I think CCP wants to weed out the stupid people by seeing if they will fly an expensively setup PvE ship into Losec, you obviously didn't fall for their 'plan'.

I completely agree flying a PVE setup ship into losec is (in general) not a very smart idea (even a simple t2 one). I also have a real problem with the fact that so many lvl 5 missions are faction missions. It ruins the ability to trade through empire, because the teamwork required for lvl 5 missions makes them far more interesting. If you want to kill other factions and/or collect tags, that should be done through Faction warfare, non-FW agents should stick to pirates, this would be a nice boost to both groups. CCP had a real chance to boost FW without nerfing missions, but as usual chose the pedantic solution.

Missions are a means to an end, whether it's to help you get a plex, or fund other activities. As such CCP really doesn't care about 'problems' with their PvE system (perhaps they do care, but the priority is most likely pretty low). Implementing Soundwave's idea to make them more of a grind seems foolish, but what do you expect from a person who doesn't spend much time in empire. Of course this is from the man who has stated a nerf to all income is coming.....

Why do you think agents in 0.5 sec systems give better rewards than those in 1.0 sec systems? It usually isn't the slightly longer CONCORD reaction time ...

if you mission near a low sec system you will end up in low sec sooner or later.

Then you really have no excuse not to get off your lazy @$$ and find a better mission area.



There are plenty of areas with great views. Many with the same nebulae you already enjoy. I had a place when I used to run missions with 2 lvl 4 agents in the same station. Worked great.

If you don't know how to spend your billions send some to me

It's true that most of eve pvp is ganking, but have you ever tryed to fight in militia plexes?
Lots of 1vs1 and gf to be had.

For as little as 200mil you can easily fit a fast clearing lvl 4 mission ship. Nobody said you have to use your 3 bil Paladin or whatever.

If you do missions in 0.5 you are getting the highest quality missions while still having your little safety net of CONCORD. So I see no reason why the game should not try to push you into 0.4 once in a while. It is an intentional move by CCP to make missions are run this way and I doubt they are going to change anything just because you are afraid to lose your 3 bil ship.

If it really bothers you that just much, there is a decline button which should not be a problem for anyone with a decent standing.

Every ship in Eve is a pvp ship once it undocks. Whether a ship is better at fight or flight is another issue.
