So playing the game several months as a miner and training a military character make me kinda avoid missions which serves a problem. I now have a well fit BC and almost at marauders (BS V) so Im a little behind on mission standing. I found that I would like to do security (missions that involve shooting things) but i cant seem to find a corp that does 1-5 and i dont wanna go from 1-4 and have to get standing all over again. I kinda wanna get into lvl 4s asap and work towards 5 while training for a good fit for them.
When looking at eve agents i notice that it hasnt been updated with new agents in the past few months and its not reflecting a place that suits my needs. Now looking underm mission types there are like 20+ diff ones which i dont understand half of them. All i know is that security = attack and what are all the other attack missions? Or can someone recommend me a corp that is toward caldari state that does all levels for attack missions? Thank you in advance.

Yumm, sate....
I can tell you one thing, all level 5 missions are in low sec now. That means you will be shot on sight by your fellow EVE player(s) if they see you.
Level 5 missions are also not something to underestimate. A lot have neut towers in them sucking your cap away faster then you can say 'Krahei was here'. Well, almost. Tough some of them can be solo'd level 5 missions are largely geared towards team effort. Especially if you're new to them.
If you could tell which corporation you have standing for we might be able to help a bit more with finding agents. Have you tried the in game map, settings set to 'my available agents'?
Edit: your =/= you're

Dont understand what was meant in the edit at the end but im still working towards level 2's with the Expert Distribution Corp. I heard about the level 5's being moved to 0 . 0 which makes little to no sense to me. You place PvE missions in the middle of e-thug pirate ganker paradise (I dont get it) so I may consider avoiding them all together, which is a massive letdown.May just consider manufacturing/industry in the end after all. It all depends on how much i can get out of level 4's.
I understand level 5's being geared towards group activity which would make sense since the 0 . 0 but in a ways still not sure why because if you get hot dropped or ganked with pvp fit pirates against pve fit gang = your probably not going to win factored in pirates need a least double what you have to even consider going after you. Which is a given, not that you could say outnumbering is necessarily unfair, more of the once side given an overall larger advantage (you wouldn't take anything larger than 3 ppl into a level 5 because of the larger cut of the profit, where your 3 ships fitted well over a billion is gets a nice spread over 10+ pirates) so that being said w/e. I still want to know about a 1-5 corp in case i consider doing it anyway.

Well more risk more reward is the idea. Although the pirates are whining that unprobable Tengus can still run them.

L4s get you far, far more ISK/hour than mining. What industry's concerned: it's very dependent on where you sell your stuff and market fluctuations.

Combat oriented corps like Caldari Navy, Spacelane Patrol, Corporate Police Force, Peace and Order Unit and such have L5 Combat mission agents. Expert distribution only has hauling/courier agents in L5s, which you don't want.

The thing that caught my eye most was unprobable tengus..... Im guessing its a field/module of sorts that acts like a black ops kind of sig radius that prevents probes from picking you up? Do tell more please, since I've been conflicted as to whether I should go full BS or fall back on T3. As far as agents for missions go from what it seems that caldari state isnt the only corp that offers caldari LP rewards? I know little to nothing about agents/mission running so this is all very new to me.
When you mention the the corps at the end you say they offer level 5 missions, but do you have to grind standing with that corp to get to those 5 missions? Or is it more tied into your faction (caldari) standing? I really confused. And yes i saw that level 5's for expert distribution (the name kinda speaks for itself) are courier but i rather have combat sites due to a perfect salvager noctis.
So what im asking is more of a list of agents within proximity that offer combat missions that branch off to level 5. One of the posters mentioned if i used the map? I know how the available agents map functions work but it wont tell me how far those agents go by just looking at the ones available. That agent way be great for combat but if it only goes to 4 and i have to wind up going to another corp and grind standing all over again i would rather not.

Chance of a probe picking you up is based on your sig radius and sensor strenght.
The higher the sensor strenght and the lower the sig radius, the harder you are to find. After a certain point (i think the ratio of 1.08 or lower is enough) you cannot be 100% scanned, and therefore you cannot be warped to.

Stuck with Caldari Navy Corp which seems to have good agents, if anyone has any other suggestions let me know.

Found 51 Caldari L5 agents... allegedly.
Browse through, sadly only 10 of them are actual agents.
Those listed as "BasicAgent".
Edit : Just 11 in this sort. 10 right, one accidental (the very first one listed).

If pirates "hotdrop" capital ships on you then you should be laughing as you warp off. Capital's target lock VERY SLOOOWWWWWLY and if you cannot get out of your mission by the time it locks you... well... you are doing something horribly, horribly wrong.
Getting ganked is another matter entirely... but so long as you use D-scan and know what to watch out for you can keep pretty safe.

Errrrr... no. If I want to kill an active tanked ship running missions I bring in fast tackle to lock you down and a ship loaded with energy neutralizers. Once your cap is gone, your tank fails and the rats can do the dirty work for me.
If friends want to come (they usually do) then who am I to say no. Though, it's not like I actually NEED them unless I'm expecting significant resistance.

not that you could say outnumbering is necessarily unfair, more of the once side given an overall larger advantage (you wouldn't take anything larger than 3 ppl into a level 5 because of the larger cut of the profit, where your 3 ships fitted well over a billion is gets a nice spread over 10+ pirates) so that being said w/e.
First off... you don't NEED to fly an expensive 1 billion ISK missioning ship to do missions. They are more of a luxury that anything else.
Hell, I know a guy who runs his missions with two Dominix, their combined value being somewhere around 300 million. Another guy I know runs them using his interceptor with a carrier's fighters assigned to him. Remember, bigger and shinier IS NOT always better.
Second... not wanting to take a larger group for profit reasons clearly illustrates the meaning behind "risk vs. reward." If you want less risk, bring more people (some of them preferably in PvP fit ships for defensive reasons) and take the loss in overall ISK gain. Conversely, if you want more ISK you bring less people and risk getting caught in a bad situation where you might be outnumbered and/or outmaneuvered.

Caldari Navy, Lai Dai Protection and Ishokune Watch all have the fun type of L5 agents. Having said that.. what others have said already is true. There are a very few L5 missions that can be done solo (1 toon) without a really expensive ship/fit.
There are a decent few that can be done in something with a solid passive tank like a Rattlesnake. Most missions can be done with 2 people.. or main + alt. Buffer/dps fit tank bs + rr/dps fit bs (domis and maelstroms are relatively common) alternatively a bs + logi works well if you manage aggro properly. All L5 missions, and possibly agents but I'm not sure about them, are in low sec now.
You need to be careful though as there is nothing stopping unfriendly locals like me from catching you moving slow ships back and forth between missions systems. 
This is not the alt you are looking for. |

Caldari Navy
Corporate Police Force
Spacelane Patrol
Those are the best 3 Caldari Level 5 corporations.
I run level 5s all the time, if you want any pointers on how to do them send me a message some time. It's possible to run a level 5 Mission on under 250 Million isk of hardware across 3 accounts, it'd be slow and you'd be at risk of being scanned down. But It's possible to do reasonably cheap. |
