Is it safe for me to run normal lv4's whilst taking part of FW?

I've recently joined FW and started to run low on isk.

Usually I make my isk by running lvl4's for brutor in Frarn or Lust, but now that I've joined FW, is it still relitively safe for me to run them or will gangs pop up to kill me?

(I know that I'm never 'safe' I know the risks, but I'm just curious as to how much more danger I'm in if I've joined FW)

I guess I could just leave FW for earning the ISK and then re-join

I might start training to fit out a SB, my main is with Minnie FW-wise. We're stuch at t1 right now sadly.
Or hell, I might start training to fly a cheetah and explore in null-sec. That seems fun

Is the income from FW missions really a lot better?

Edit- My initial question still stands. No one seems to have an answer for me. am I at a high risk running lvl4's in high sec whilst in FW?

while you're at tier1, you can still do missions to get to lvl 4's.

You are obviously risking when doing missions in hisec when involved in FW, just keep you eye on local and rename you ship to someone else name in local. If they (or their neutral alts) don't know what you're flying it will be hard for them to actually find you. Watch for combat probes and use missions with gates.

for people who want to minimum risks wouldn't make such thread that announce to everyone that he plan to do L4 mission with expensive ship.

it is like run your own twitter with tag, #WHERE I AM NOW, while you navigate through low/null sec area

This is very cut-and-dried: you're in FW, so you're at risk EVERYWHERE. Period.

If you want safe missioning, get out of FW. It's not there for carebear missioning.

watch local

you'll be fine

I thought FW players all had scrooge mcduck isk.

I would be more concerned about campers at BTT and BCF that like to take pot shots at minnie FW pilots. Use your alt to haul supplies or set up some decent BMs.

Some high sec systems will be safer for running missions in than others.

Smelly Boyhehe, if you tell us which system you're running missions from, we can tell you how safe it is.

Because it's a game of isk. If you're not making the most isk you can, you're playing it wrong.

If you want to mission in hisec while in FW, then do so. As others have said, watch local and d-scan, and dock up you mission ship if WTs come into system.
