Missions & Complexes

I can't speak for every pirate faction, but serpentis assault has quite a bit more dps than most missions, so I'd assume the rest are heavy also. You have to be more careful with your pulls or get a ridiculous tank, which usually sacrifices your dps.

Also, just to clarify, when you say 70% resists, are you omni-tanking? If you are that's a big mistake in your tank. You should be matching your tank for each mission individually.

1)A wyvern costs about 10 times what you seem to think it costs.

2)I honestly don't know what you're doing wrong to be so bad at running lvl 4s. I literally just warped in, shot everything, did a bit of salvaging, and left. No idea how you can pull in only a quarter what I do, when my way of running missions is considered horribly inefficient as it is.

3)Incursion fleets who dont do the most dps get nothing. That said, incursions are usually not crowded enough that you will make nothing, the slower fleets just focus on the less sought after sites. I used to run vanguards solo, and one vindi does not put out enough DPS to compete with any decent fleet, but I can say from experience that it was still pretty easy to find sites for myself to run without too much competition

Absolutely.

Who do serious people continue to give this guy serious responses?

1. Complains highsec lvl 4 rewards are too low
2. Boasts of his own greatness
3. Tell people giving reasonable responses to STFU
4. Claims a Wyvern is 2.5 bill
5. trollollollollollolloll

You realise in Assault you can just keep taking gates until you get to the final pocket, then you only have to kill the five ships on the left, right?

I'm not going to go into details on missioning etc on the forums where there are trolls everywhere but...you're doing it wrong. Very wrong.

Golem and CNR are still the best all-purpose mission ships.

The Nightmare and Mach are better for special uses (notably against EM-weak and Kn/Epl-weak rats, respectively), but they also have distinct drawbacks if you pit them against something outside that specialisation.

Sure, once you get a collection of mission-specific ships that you swap out depending on what you're doing, those two will be pretty much obligatory additions, but if you just want to sit in one ship for everything, they become less than optimal.

I love this mission. I use a Navy Dominix for the fun of it (not that I recommend it for isk/hr). The drones keep hitting after you are target blocked.

Pocket One:
Attack the highest bounty BS last
Drones aggro BC/AC group

Pocket Two:
Kill close group
Kill far group
Kill remaining group lowest bounties first

Blitz: ignore pocket one rats, kill pocket two far group

Again, it's an awesome mission. I like that you don't know what will happen. The high bounty can look low, a mistake leaving you running to the gate. If the far pocket is out of range for your ship, you could accidently aggro the middle pocket on the way. Varying ECM ships, while annoying, spices things up. Best of all, each bounty in the middle of the second pocket could be the same, leaving you with a Russian Roulette scenario.

I hope they don't change a thing.

TLDR: Wah, missions are hard. CCP, I want an easy mode and free ISK.

Look around there's plenty of fits for Incursion they are brilliant fun you get to meet loads of new people you're not reliant on salvage, you're working as a team.....I've done 2 missions in the last 2 days (been studying and playing Dead Island) I did Enemies Abound 2-4 (Ok that's 3 but the 3rd ones a courier mission for 7 jumps there and back so it's not really much of a mission) and I netted 80 mill (tags were there major winner for me).....I could be worng here guys but I mission in 0.5 and it seems as though the bonuses rewards and lp seem higher?

I fly a faction BS but was quite happy doing them in a Abbo with T2 fittings of course it's a lot easier with T2 beams and drones but when you lose a drone it hurts financially....somethings not right if you're sturggling with lvl 4s I'm only at 12 mill sp and I'm getting to the point where most of them are a bit of a grind time-wise I know the stories (the Damsels always getting into trouble) and I know what reisists to fit I'll personally state for the record that you need to read the mission guides fit accordingly, I have over 90% of both em/therm for example in a Blood Raider mission......evesurvivial is your friend use it fit accordingly and there is no way you should be in any position to lose a ship (and this comes from a guy who's lost more ships than the German navy in WW2!!

Hit me up in EVE sometime and I'll run through a few things with you either on chat or Teamspeak if you have it....

Incursions to reitierate though are the best fun once you know missions like the back of your hand and you earn great ISK in fact the corp I'm in has been setup to promote safe flying in Incursions by getting our own fleets together (advert over)

Im going to back Shaw up here, he made a bloody valid and good point. Btw if anyone is reading this and is in the same situation (struggling with missions) hit me up in game and you can tag along and get a feel of the missions or I can answer any questions you may have.
