The worst is the L4 intercepty the saboteurs mission (I think that is what it is called) which appears to be an Amarr region special, closely followed by the Unauthorized Military Access mission.
The Saboteur mission (not to be confused with the Sabotaged) is five bookmark mission against Minmatar terrorists where you have to recover the viral agents.
What makes this mission suck?
1. No bounties.
2. The Minmatar Fleet Stabbers are unreal. Unreal in speed and damage. Strangely enough, the Minmatar Fleet Ruptures, despite being a Tier 3 cruiser, don't pose such a threat with abnormal levels of speed and damage. The Fleet Stabbers fly with the speed of an inty, yet hits as hard with battleship like autocannons as far as 30km. Tell me where I can fly this wonder ship!
3. Remember you get no bounties killing that nasty ship above, not to mention the Ruptures and Typhoons, while all those modded Vigils are trying to web you.
4. The loot sucks, pretty much like Angel loot, genuinely useless to anyone who isn't using a Minmatar ship. No electronic rares, you don't get quality named missile launchers like against the Guristas, lots of stuff with poor recycle value as compared to Sansha or Blood loot. You get a lot of projectiles, but projectiles are not as easy to sell as other weapon categories, especially in the laser crazed Amarr region, and don't recycle as well either.
5. You are forced to pick up every can of loot---you can't ignore it, to get the viral agents. This means a lot of picking and time being wasted.
6. You get faction rating drops with Minmatar, and soon you will be KOS with the Republic.
The mission to sum up,
... is risky
... has little worthy loot to show for it unless you like projectiles.
... zero bounties
... agent rewards and LPs nerfed on high sec systems with the next patch
... gives you lower faction ratings with an empire
... requires you to monotonously pick up every can to fulfill mission objectiles and attempt to give some value to the mission. This therefore consumes a lot of time.
Unless you are the role playing type that likes to imagine enjoying killing Minmatar terrorists, this mission deserves a thumbs down rejection.
