Mechanics changes result in Running L4s in cheap ships is no longer "fun".

Fitting a pimp boat to make these missions "Fun", now comes with a very high risk of getting ganked.

Behold ladies and gentlemen a "alternative" Level 3 missions. WHY?

+ Structures drop implants consistently.
+ Missions are MUCH shorter, I've done up to 5 in an hour compared to 2 or 3 in L4s.
+ Storyline missions pop faster.
+ You can blitz L3s in a t1 fit that nobody would even consider ganking! =)
+ Easily AFK'd
+ The loot isn't worth salvaging, so you don't need to salvage!
+ Less scooping more pew pew!

The income is lower per hour if your only looking at ISK in your wallet, but implants from structures and storylines help this out.

Besides I never claimed you'd be rich... but you will have FUN =)

Most structures that drop implants are listed on EVE Survival, though I wonder how well documented level three missions are compared to level fours.

Too bad, I do more than 5 L4 missions within an hour and it's fun.
My X-Type Mach does magic: poping BSs within 13-18 sec is fun and also very profitable.
I blitz all I want and no one can gank me, no one.

Whatever.

I have to agree except for the part about not collecting up the loot and salvage. The Noctis can do mission clean up very quickly. If you don't want to search through the loot and keep the high meta levels, just do market 'quick' sell or reprocess everything and then sell the minerals. Besides that, getting salvage is always good.

I find this very doubtful and extremely hard to believe.

For some strange reason, this song seems fitting.

just saying if your missions ship can get ganked in high sec you have a **** fitting. mission ship should tank 900dps easy for active or if you rush fleets then your fit shoul dhave 70 to 80% resists and a BS with less than 150,000EHP cant be taken in high sec unless your doing something you shouldnt. if your autopiloting and you get ganked then thats your own fault ...

i dont want to come off as a **** but download EFT and check your fit to see if it can get better. my mission char has a ehp of 250,000 its not going to drop any time soon and if it does ill have kill rights on 10 people :)

'Pimped' mission ships don't get ganked... IMO. Never have I whilst undocking in my Rattlesnake have I been in any fear of losing my ship to an attack by other players. People lose thier pimped out rides by letting less than trustworthy people into their corperations who then attack the mission ships OR do something stupid becasue they are pissed of whilst in a mission becasue of a looter.

I'll stick to the lvl 4 missions.

don't forget there are at least two kind of pimp:

  • "some" pimp in form of faction or lets say gist/pith b or c types for some tank and spank
  • or the "kind of stupid" pimp like officer BCUs on a active Tengu with 25k EHP ...


so i believe some pimp can do a lot for your tank and time spend while the other pimp can make you a *really* desirable target.
