Was talking to a corp mate who runs missions on the side when he's bored with mining.
Used to be his missions were around 3 jumps from his mission system (it's not a hub, it's in an out-of-the-way region with moderate traffic), both courier and combat missions. Now his average distance to a mission location is 7 jumps, 1/2 of which are into lowsec when there's no lowsec in the entire constellation. It would appear that mission range has been extended to the entire region now.
His courier pilot (all hauler/mining skills) gets a storyline: A combat mission 16 jumps from the mission system, 6 of which were through lowsec, to an 0.1 system. And it was in an entirely different region. Of course he turned that one down flat... so much for faction standing.
His combat/jack-of-all-trades pilot gets a storyline... Preparations for War (As always, combat plots get courier storylines with nil faction gain) yet again. This one was 11 jumps into deep lowsec in the same region to an 0.2.
Yep, CCP did great with this balancing. Not only have material drops been crushed flat, but half the missions are where most runners simply don't want to go. I foresee a lot of accounts being canceled soon (not mine).

So I'm on an alt working L2s as fast as possible... and I get ''Scavenger'' as a normal mission... *23* jumps away... 4 jumps into lowsec. Working as intended.

Don't run Gallente missions. Their storyline missions have been, umm, "rectally expanded" by CCP. |

Get a better quality agent.. the better quality the less jumps you make.

Courier missions have always had the chance to be long distance trips. The change they made probably just increased the chance of that happening significantly.
But for the record, I only changed my sig because I was annoying myself with the last one.

Edited by: Refei Keteng on 31/05/2010 05:09:54 Why did you choose to omit the level of the agents and their quality? That probably has something to do with it.
