I finally decided to check, and found an agent nearby.

Any hints on what I need to take to the agent's system?

I would assume a Hulk and a gas harvester, but how bad are the rats? Will I need a couple of BSs for them?

Sounds cool to me. Maybe mine 500k m3 of some rare ice. Then when you turn it in you get oh, five million units of oxygen isotopes.

Why a troll?

I ran one character up to L5 doing storage missions, before they went away. I wanted to see if I would need a freighter. I didn't.

I'm just checking out another of the many facets of the game.

Don't try to convince me that no player has ever run a Level 5 mining mission.

I don't run lvl5 mining missions often, but when I do, a carrier with 15 mining drones is my ship of choice. Obviously that's for ungated ones. The gated ones are just too much hassle to mess with so I typically reject them.

Your first wake=up call and disappointment is that you cannot put Gas Harvesters on a Hulk...........................

Hulk is not sufficient for level 5s. While mining or hauling you will need more protection and/or cargo space.
Orca is the only way to go with distirbution level 5s.

Hate to pop your bubble, but you are wrong on both counts. Look up Material Acquisition Level 5 agents. There's a mining agent, and the system it's in is Hi Sec, although you do have to make two low sec jumps to get there. However, since mining missions are usually close to the agent, I suspect that the missions themselves would be in Hi Sec as well.

You're using an outdated database. In-game agent finder shows only security agents under L5, and they're all in low sec. No mining, no distribution, no research, no FW, no high sec.

Hmmm. Maybe that's why the database I use still shows Concord agents. :) Thanks.
