Missions & Complexes

Many / most of the higher level static sites 3/10 and up are gone from the game and oyu have to scan for them.
The static sites that are left in the game tend to be of the lower end variety mainly setup for newer low skills characters.

There is no such thing as a "king" of level 4 missions, although you will get some considerable argument on this point as everyone has a favorite and they will always tell you that sjhip / fit is the "king" of missions.

Up close and personal, long range sniper or something in between?
Turrets or missiles?
Shield or armor tank?
Low cost(ISK) or does it matter?
Do you have a preference for what race ships you fly?
Do you want to blitz, full clear and loot/salvage or something in between?
Do you use multiple accounts when running missions or a single?
Do you want cheap(ISK) or do you care?
Are you concerned about the ship you fly and how that affects your chances of being the target of a suicide gank?
Or do you prefer to fly what you like and not worry about it?
And the list goes on, so please help us to help you by giving us some answers and more information on what you like / want.

To give you something that resembles and answer to your question about "king" here goes.
All of the pirate and faction battleships make excellent mission runners.
Most of the T1 battleships can be excellent ships as well.
Some prefer speed and agility over traditional tanking so the T3's and the Ishtar are decent choices.
All 4 of the Marauders are excellent mission runners.

These are indeed the answers we need. Without knowing them, the only general advice I can give is: look at marauders, faction battleships and T3s.

When I read this I thought I was in General Discussion sub-forum.

If you can't answer the question then don't bother posting a reply.

My thoughts precisely. Post something constructive, report the post as redundant (without patting yourself on the back here in the topic) or simply go away and leave it alone.

Moving on, T3's can be effective mission ships especially if you want to blitz. If you are a full clear type then the T3 are workable but less than optimal because of their lower DPS and the shorter range of the heavy and heavy assault missiles.

Since you perfer missiles then I would say a cruise fit Golem is the best option to go for long term.
Short term think about a Navy Raven, Scorpion or even a standard Raven, al of them would be effective mission runners.

The GIla can be an effective mission runner but it has one major draw back, if you get webbed it will not have enough tank to hang in a pocket long so knowing your triggers and which ships in a mission can or will web / scram you and getting rid of them first would be a wise way to run missions if you choose to use one.

I neglected to post this, if you have it fine, if not this is very useful for mission runners.

Thanks for the responses. Spent most of my time doing exploration in a start so far but think I will end up skirling for a golem or a paladin sooner rather than later!
