CCP Fozzie has written a new dev blog and is going to talk about some hot topic: Burner Missions!
Burner Missions are optional Level 4 missions first introduced in Hyperion based on a single, very challenging NPC frigate. Those new missions are met with a lot of enthusiasm and explosions.
If you have ever wondered what might be even better than Burner Missions, here is the answer: graphs and more Burner Missions!
Read all about interesting background information (such as player ships destroyed by Burner NPCs, K/D ration, loot dropped etc.) and what new Burner Missions you can expect with the Oceanus release on September 30th in CCP Fozzie's latest dev blog Some NPCs Just Want to Watch the World Burn.

I think this one may hold the new record for most graphs in one dev blog.
Congrats to everyone who has managed to defeat a Burner so far, and good luck to those of you who will give them a try in the future! Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

So. I went to this thing in the desert in northern Nevada, and I return to find Burners in my spaceship game.
Coincidence?
I think not. Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs. |

yawn more frigates... still not interested wasting time with these.
When cruiser burners come around maybe then...
But what i really are waiting for are BS size burners now that would be something (BS size vvessels dishing out over 1000dps with all the EW in game Let the real battle commence and fireworks alone would be sight to see) frigates look like peashooters after that)
(and still when you take into account how hard these things are i just cannot justify the risk/reward on frigate size burners)

That's a lot of graphs! Does that CONDI destruction include Sunday's Vile Rat Day? Hundred(s) of billions of ISK worth of stuff was blown up then. |

Have to start small before you can go play with the big boys.
Off topic.
If you have a maxed out pirate indicy in 0.0 rand burners randomly spawn in belts please? :D We need moar tears in this game. |

Shoot a Serpentis Burner to lose standing to Serpentis.
Shoot an ex-Amarrian Burner to lose standing to...? They are neither Amarr nor pirates.
ex-Matari Burner seems to be Thukker Tribe as far as the description of the Burner Jaguar on Sisi tells us.
Oh, and if you didn't want to have battleships slowboating or mjd'hopping into the burner pocket you shouldn't have lowered the 100MN MWD cap requirements You have seen this coming, haven't you? After all, it takes a lot of time, calling it an "exploit" seems to be unfair... "exploring the limits" is the term you are looking for

This clearly demonstrates why the no-penalty design of Burner Missions was a good idea.
well, getting this missions 6 jumps away in 0.0 npc space may have something to do with it, also; about half the missions i got are over 3 jumps away... like really, can't you guys do something about it, moving 6 jumps in 0.0 to complete a mission is a bit different than moving 6 jumps in empire... |

Definitely looking forward to the new logistics burners, but I hope the logi frigs are strong enough that they don't just pop instantly to anything that looks at them. |

You have a frigate, as long as you look at least at the in-game map instead of moving blingly in, NullSec isn't that bad.
Hell, a few days ago I did the Caldari Epic Arc and moved about a dozen jumps around in Serpentis NullSec and never even met anyone. |

These missions are so awesome. I was laughing so hard when i took frigate after frigate into my first burner and died over and over. It made me feel like a total nub again. Getting trolled by epic NPC's was so funny to me. Also I got a Domination 1MN MWD from my 2nd mission against the daredevil which was a fun surprise, I am eagerly waiting to see what you guys throw at us next :) |

I'm not interested in perfecting my frigate skills or flying frigates, and I suspect that I'm not alone (numbers would seem to back this up). When are we going to see some expanded PvE for battlecruisers and battleships? I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

If you're getting ganked undocking in a frigate in Jita, you probably don't need to be attempting burner missions in the first place.

Excellent breakdown. Answered a lot of my questions and curiosities, save for the most important one:
What ships are people using to successfully complete the burner missions? From the forum threads it appears that the Daredevil is the ship of choice. |
