Is it just me or does everyone who does these "courier"-type lv4 missions to occasionally raise standings note a lack of Eve's signature "Risk vs. Reward" metric?
What do I mean? Well, I have noted on 4 separate factions in Amarr, Caldari, SoE, and Minmatar space that lv4 distribution missions that take you into lowsec (e.g. higher risk and thus taken less often by most pilots because of this) actually give you LOWER rewards in ISK/LP/Standings gains in comparison to shorter, safer high sec only runs...
I thought it was odd, and maybe only for one area...but as I said I have tested it with 1000's of missions in various areas...and I am not risk averse....I love diving into lowsec in my blockade runner and often will take these missions just for the thrill...
That being said...why doesn't the system factor in your destination and award a larger payout/reward if you have to jump into hostile space?
Thanks for reading and I look forward to input and reports of similar experience!!!

Try posting in the Features and Ideas forum. And/or bug report it as well. If you can provide numbers, that would also boost your case with CCP to fix the problem.

what he said.
but im not surprised by that as reward is to my knowledge calculated by the mission specific payout as basis where then agent location and your skills are added together. Means the mission payout calculus will ignore the lowsec |

Yeah the mission reward base only accounts for the security status of the system where the agent is located. A bit silly to be honest, it should give you some bonus for taking that risk. If the agent is located in low-sec then there is better rewards, which is something I guess. |

Note that, in addition to lower security agents giving higher LP, your trained levels in Distribution Connections directly increase the LP received per mission. |
