Just an inquiry who likes or dislikes that mission area can be invaded by pirates. Most mission runners depend on loot bounty and salvage and rewards to make isk. Even in empire you loose all this as well as the mission objective that gets held for ransom, that is if your not in low sec then it's your ship or pod then the mission objective. Don't bash me I'd like to hear form both sides of the issue.

Okay, rely on it to do what? Whatever it is, it isn't so important that you should be entitled to risk-free ISK, and missions are definitely risk-free if you do them in high sec. edit: or they would be risk-free if they were made into PvE-only zones.

Oh my gosh, how can anybody even conceive of any sort of PVPish activities in a PVEish environment ?!?
Here's two radical "solutions" :
1. Get out of the mission hubs and start missioning in the less crowded systems, so you will almost never see any "invaders" in your mission.
2. Ask for the right to shoot anybody in sight. For all intents and purposes, mission deadspaces become 0.0 space and anybody can kill everybody else without interference inside.

Its the old Risk VS Reward, you risk your ship in low sec for the rewards of the missions, simple as that, dont like it, dont come to low sec, or if you do, dont whine when we kill you. ≡v≡ Gurista's Powered |

Thats entirely the reason they won't come to low sec, its not even an "if we kill you" its a "When we kill you" ___________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

4 or five ships against a mission runner makes them entitled to risk-free isk. And they are not risk-free in high sec, the same happens there except for loosing your ship if you choose not to aggress after they take your loot. So again why should they be entitled to free isk. I'll answer for you, Just because they can do it, right?
It is fun to evade mission runner invaders and adds some excitement, but to be able to take everything and being made so easy to do is the issue. And as you said risk-free, face it, must be hard to spend so much time ganking for profit =]

Join a 0.0 alliance and leave empire behind. Null sec deadspace plexing is your friend, its far more profitable and actually safer most of the time than high sec mission running.
If you really cant live without your missions, then yes, there are mission agents deep in 0.0, their missions are also far more profitable than empire or low sec.
I find it difficult to understand why so many are obsessed with high sec vs low sec mission running when life is so much better in 0.0.
I mean really, what isnt there to like? Join a good alliance and you get hugely profitable ratting, mission running, deadspace plexing, mining, an active 0.0 market, moon mining etc etc. PvP on tap when ever you feel like it, and nice peaceful space to carebear in when you don't.
If there is any trouble incoming you usually hear about it long before it arrives. Long enough that you either have time to dock / SS or go get a PvP ship to join the fun.
Living in empire longer than you have to is like living in a public toilet because you like the smell of stale urine.

lol good suggestion, not my first toon tho. I would like to get back to 0.0 but can't find a corp there that I like and the ones that I do are too busy thinking I'm a spy. Right now my friends are in empire and a long way to getting to null space but I urge them. As for the smell I agree but I thinks it's not urine.

Yes. People can find you regardless of security, which means they can steal whatever you haven't bolted down.
The solution is to train up for a barge and mine Veldspar like everyone else in High Sec.
ISK for nothing and no risk whatsoever.

In over 5 years, I've only once had my mission 'invaded' and that was in a busy Caldari mission hub in which I only remained for one day, normally I'm in systems with <10 people in local to run my missions.
Promptly started shooting my wrecks until the salvage thief left.
If people just do one or both of the above then it there won't be any salvage stealing. But nooooo, people prefer to be silly whiny sheep that huddle up together, because the Navy is the only corp you can run missions for, eh? ---

By very definition of "risk-free ISK", you're not entitled to it.

Draco is right, i've been doing missions for a long time in eve, both in low sec and high sec and its all about the reward versus the risk. Hell i've been killed several times but thats eve

Ninja salvaging is risk free to also the only point where I agree with above poster. Ninja salvaging should flag just as wreck steeling. Wheter to respond how to respond and if it's the smart thing to do is a different story.

I have run missions in both high- and low-sec space; I've been jumped three times in lowsec and had an attempt made in highsec...but I got away .
Through these experiences, and perusing these forums, I've learned what I ought to do, and what equipment I ought to fit, to improve my odds in evading pirates.
Note to self: trash the warp core stabilizers. The penalties far outweigh the benefits, even on a hauler.
As to your OP: I don't mind as long as I win.

The smell is getting thick.
So as I am getting it so far, it is not right for mission runners to get risk-free isk but it is for Prats to get it risk-free. Not that I would ever want to see it happen but I would love to see the posts if CCP stopped mission intrusion all together
Would you guys whine even louder if mission runners had a way to lower scanning them down by 50% with skills so your risk-free isk has to be worked for?
And they have not been able to do it for 5 years. And busy mission hubs are where the isk is why do you think the Prats are there? As for the huddling sheep, those are the ones that won't get together and deal with it as well as the mission runners that read this thread and don't give a response fearing getting flamed or made a target and that's commical.

Salvaging may be safe, but it's a low-reward activity anyway. It generally happen in caldari/gallente space, where most wrecks are serpentis/guristas ones, and their salvage is almost worthless. Might as well mine veldspar, more profitable and you can do it semi-afk... ------------------------------------------

So you're basically saying that running missions should flag you?
As for being flagged for salvaging, why? It makes roughly no sense at all.

You keep banging on about this risk-free ISK the mission invaders are supposed to get, but you haven't exactly explained what it is or where it comes from.

Hey it's all good advice and I'm hearing it. Some of it is very one sided tho but what should you expect.
Thanks

salvaging a decent lvl2+ can bring in far more isk than the mission rewards+bounties alone.

That is PvP, just not challenging when it's 5+ to 1 odds. Thankfully, I was jumped by one player each time (though I did lose 3 of 4 times).

Do you think that they just fly in for fun. They take your loot, salvage and take the mission objective if there is one and hold it for ransom, as well as your ship or pod if it is a low sec mission or the same in high sec if your stupid enough to attack 4 or 5 Prats that easily out gun you. There is no risk for them that's why they do it. If there was a risk they would not be there, and if there was no isk involved they would not bother. elaborated?

I used to run mission on another toon. I may run them again on this toon at some point. Scanning down a mission runner isnt hard, but it does require some work on tha part of the scanner.
If they steel your lewts, shoot them. Or you can come cry about it on the boards and no one will care
If the salvage wrecks in the mission space, tough, salvage isnt salvage until its in a cargo hold. before that its a wreck. it belongs to no one.
During 8 months of missioning i was invaded a total of 3 times. Once cost me the mission cos i wasnt equipped to deal with the guy who flipped my mission loot can. instead i said nothing left and turned in the mission, big whoop. dont mission in the mission hubs. find a lower quality agent in the quieter systems and live a happy peaceful life.

Not risk free.
The difference is that, unlike most mission runners, they accept low risk as an acceptable one — that is not the same as "risk free."
