I have a main joining FW and I also have an alt. Both will be able to fly SB on the 14th. They're on the same screen though so I'll have to alt tab. Is this the best way for running fw missions with an alt or should one kite everyone in an inti or something.
Also, would I be better off just having the alt afk regular L4 missions in a domi?

Targets are aligned and positioned so they can be seen on both while the cap-dial is always visible.
I prefer this to dual-monitors, less power consumption with just as much access.
edit: oh also CCP removed the custom resolutions. To get the window size to one that fits you need to add the setup to your windows list of supported resolutions.

Or you could just run them as a solo pilot like the rest of us...

well i did some experiments in past few weeks and I find out, that it is better to run lvl4s and completely salvage them, then run FW missions. Reason is simple FW missions are simply magnet for pies and if u run them is too hassle.
if u wanna run them - pick one intie or ABing frig with good tank and one SB. 2 AB sbs is an option too (but refuse the mission with collecting some stuff - it takes too long) and be ready to tank ur SBs. It is possible to salvage FW missions, but not worth the risk. WE ARE in STASIS NOW!

I would think you'd have little trouble with pirates with the cloaks you use on your ships.

I have not had anywhere near this experience - and I've run missions solo in a gila for a very long time. In fact, I've spent as long as 24 hours solid running missions across all timezones on a weekend without any trouble. I have never lost a mission ship to pvp (twice I've gotten distracted/fallen asleep in the mission and the rats killed me).
And the payout is far, FAR better than level 4's in high sec.

You are playing too much, it is bad for your heath and lowers your overall performance in EVE.

well from average lvl 4 I am able to get at least 25-30 million in bounties/lps/salvage - in case I am building things from salvage (rigs + ships) i am able to run mission in 30-45 minutes. So it is 35-45 mio per hour (in fw I can 40-50 with lot of hassle). Money is not instant as people need to buy my ships, but it is steady and very safe.
In low sec, I had several problems with pies entering my missions (some of them died ;) ) but maybe it is my tz problem. Lvl4s can be run nearly afkish in my drakes so I am fine with them in current days, when I can be called off every moment. WE ARE in STASIS NOW!

Edited by: X Gallentius on 07/12/2010 15:29:26 I agree. Only those with suicidal tendencies run FW missions in low sec. It's super duper dangerous and you'll get ganked every time you enter low sec from a high sec system. Pies are everywhere and demand pictures of your little sister as ransom. (She better be good looking too or you'll get podded.)
Especially the Gallente FW missions. You're all better off running anything but Gallente FW missions as those are the hardest to complete due to missile spamming and e-war (the blueprint for everybody's fotm nano*** Drake fleets btw).

Conflicted between honesty and preserving my isk source. So for now let me say that there is a fair bit of misinformation in this thread. If it's deliberate or not I cannot pass judgment on.

wait I think I guessed it after applying my brilliant mind to the situation. hidden sanke said he seels ships with the lp from fw missions, this seems strangem im guessing he sells something else like implants and thats how you make your money to. anything else is cloudy by based on the other posters there's nothing wrong with running fw missions with an sb, and especially with an alt seems like some were hostile to that meaning it must be ridiculously easier.
well mr. implant dealer, for being an ass, i am going to come at you and come at you hard. I am going to undercut all your implants with my double lp from shared lp.

When you fly for amarr you can not solo fw missions (against Minmatar) in a SB. At least I can't. It is very hard to solo them even in a BC. I have tried and have to warp out for repairs from time to time.
I'm not sure if I can fly for amarr and run missions for caldari against the gallente.
I think the other factions have an easier time running the missions.
Smart pirates can catch you on gates. There are ways of doing this but its hit or miss. -Cearain

I can do 11 FW missions in 2 hours. 10k LP per mission (low est.) So 55k LP per hour.
That's easily 100m+ an hour. HERP DERP.

Their arn't dangerous and to top it off they have a massivly higher isk/hr ratio compared to regular L4 & L5 missions.

Then you're doing something wrong. Chaining FW missions can earn you 250-300m isk/hr. If annoying people come the isk/hr rate drops a little, but it's still far better than any other form of mission running.

FW missions would be nice income but people grind those too much and all want to sell teir lp as fast as possible and then they undercut their militia friends on prices and sell stuff cheap.
There is monopoly on every militia on certain FW lp shop items, but militia is full of ******s who are not willing to take full isk out of those.
Examble: Caldari Navy Power Diagnostic Systems is one of those items that are used on shield tanked super carries and titans, because it has most shield bonus. So it really does not matter if it cost 100m or 40m those who need it will buy it anyway.
When you sell it for 100m you have to grind lp about 3 times less than selling it for 40m to get same income.

I did some research. From what I have read and heard from others caldari missions(fighting gallente) are easiest, then the Minmatar (fighting Amarr) and then generally I hear the Amarr and Gallente have it hard. Not sure which is worse. The problem for amarr is the minmatar rats are fast have target painters and missile spam. Do you have something that works for amarr fw missions?
