You probably have to cross some rather quiet systems.
It's not far off some of the deadliest FW pipes.
Plus it was our home system for months. If DR still was located here, few would manage out in their pod as we often camped gate and almost perma-camped the station.
By the way, these "experimental" missions are the mirror of some older missions you can get in Esesier: completely ******ed kill missions sending you 14-18 jumps in low sec across the hottest camped systems to sure death.
And the rewards? Worse than hi sec. Worse reward for 14 jumps (+14 back) than for a 3 jumps 0.5 sec mission none the less.
I mean, it's not even a case of carebear-ism (in fact I was so bored down there that in the end did the 14 jumps missions  ) but of simple 1 + 1 about WTF uglyworthless reward is for so long (ie not even calculating risk) runs.

I also think that these missions should be designed more for small ships. Getting a frigate-sized ship through low-sec is much easier to do safely than doing it with a battleship, especially with the gates camped all to hell.
But weren't you saying

I think anything that makes mission-running less of a brain-dead, non-competitive activity
In fact you can slip in a L4 capable ship, it's just harder than leaving a 0.5 sec station and clicking warp.
Also, you approve of the idea (i.e. FW related missions) but don't like the immediate effect (FW are blob rich zones)?
There are basically 2-3 "pipes" to get there (Esesier, if this is still the assignment), and 1 is almost always clean or max 4-5 campers. Finding the right pipe is part of the "making it less of a brain dead" activity.
In reality I see 3 glaring issues with these missions:
1) Given to too "young" characters. Wetting feet in low sec is not bad by principle, but wetting feet in steam hot water of blobby pipes is a bit... excessive.
2) Reward sucks. If I get 30-40M doing hi sec AE (10% of a basic mission ship) I want at least the same (possibly more) for such a risky mission.
3) This is fundamentally a game. The minority faction that is already losing or has lost, are not going to get incentive to fight if what they get is basically an handicap and are flogged. They will just turn and enroll into the winning side, something I witnessed in other PvP MMOs. Eve teaches to be an opportunist biatch anyway.

I got this 4 times in a row on my *R&D* alts.
Did they just remove every other storyline mission and replace with this?
