Has anyone tested them out yet? Do the devs have anything set up to effectively test them right now? Rather than just hoping for the random mission to spawn in the agent's pool...

Think theiy stated that the other lvl4 missions will be disabeleed, so only burner mission can be given by the agents

I've requested about 15 missions from 4-5 agents and haven't seen a new mission yet, so if they're planning to swap them, I don't think the new missions are there yet.

So Burner mission agents have not been added to Singularity yet, and we can't test these things yet?????

Nothing to see yet. Just wait for the next Sisi patch.

They're not on Sisi yet, but will be soon. When they are ready for you to test we'll have info about it in the sticky threads in this forum so you guys can get to them as easily as possible.

There will be now such thing as 'burner mission agents'. You'll get the missions from existing agents.

So basically normal lvl 4 mission runners will get screwed over if they can't fly some nice frigate to complete them in?

Also I hope I won't be getting burner missions on distribution or mining missions to kill some enemy... that would suck.

"There will be no standings penalty for turning down or failing these missions." from the dev blog http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/size-matters-introducing-burner-missions/

and I imagine nearly any af or faction frig will be able to complete these, maybe I'm underestimating them but it is still eve pve, so my expectations aren't all that high. if NPCs were vulnerable to all ewar like players are they would all be super easy.

You're safe, the burner missions will be given out by security agents.

Hey, this gives me the idea for "burner" versions for the other agents:

"Burner"-Distribution: Fly important cargo through a NPC-gatecamp.
"Burner"-Mining: A strong NPC-pirate fleet with ganking-fits suddenly shows up, hope you're prepared! They of course exclusively target mining ships and warp out if there aren't any present. Pirate

Tried the Blood Raider mission. I've not been able to beat it with a Jag, ishkur or breecher. I get insta scrammed/webbed before I can open the distance. And the cruor's webs are so good, it kites me even when i have it webbed and scrammed. Tracking disruption and jamming does not seem to work against it as well. The armor reps are much better than the 160 dps I've been able to apply. And of course the nuet's/nos are devastating. I think I'll try a worm next.

I tried the Sansha mission and my Hawk could barely scratch that Succubus. The fury light missiles did like 13 dmg at best and a t2 web just couldn't reach it's 15km orbit range. It also flew around over 8k/ms. I tried again with a Daredevil and ran into the same problem.

Can we get higsec faction oficers ( Caldari , Amarr, Minmatar , Gallente) for the nullsec lvl 4 missions at the same time?
