5. Is it BALANCED? Hell no! It is just a TRAP... and then it evolves into a rather boring sniper and warp in/out festival.
by balanced you mean killing 15 rats alone with your BS?
oh wait, your are upset cause the bad boys are actually doing their best to try to kill you. they even set a trap for you. oh god, they are mean...

1. Technology Secrets 3/3 can be done by a single sniping Apoc - e.g.
2. BUT... the first time you warp in, you might get scrambled and PWNED in zero time.
3. The tactic is getting in, preferably in a shuttle until we get to know that missions are sane again, make a BM, warp out.
4. Get a Battleship and warp in at safe distance, snipe.
5. Is it BALANCED? Hell no! It is just a TRAP... and then it evolves into a rather boring sniper and warp in/out festival.
All in all, I like the changes, but some are not only a bit over the top, like this one.
I've done it like this only i used a caracal fitted with heavy missile launchers and a prototype I sensor booster.
It was easy, starting shooting from 90 km and warp away 3 times.
But i did lose a raven before i knew about this tactic

Not sure what all the fuss is about, I've solo'd all the 3's in my Cyclone - and even a couple of 4's. My char's 2 month birthday was yesterday. 
Not to say some of the new RMR 3's aren't downright nasty, try Portal to War sometime. Cost me a few ships, for sure. It gets especially fun if you take over an hour on part 2, oh the humanity.
It's simply a question of adapting, isn't it? With many of the new mission, some of the old 'tried and true' techniques aren't as effective. Kudos to CCP for devising new ways to test my ship, gear and skills.

And the reward is a joke, isn't it?
I found a +3 Willpower implant in stage 1 loot yesterday :)
I lost a brutix in stage 1 of Tech Secrets. Everything jumped on me in no time. Then i jumped in my Enyo, brought a corp mate in a proph, and another in a caracal and picked them apart by warping in at 100km.
To warp in at 100km just set your default warp distance since there is no Accel gate to hit :p

People seem to ahve been forgetting to read about the changes in damage making when it comes to BIG ships verus SMALL ship.
If you use a BS and Torpedos or Cruise missiled, DONT except to be toooo succesful against Frigs. Frigs are way to fast and small to be locked to fast or be killed off by a missile that is as large as the ship itself. so thoose of you complainign having some hard time to do damage and get killed isntead by frigs when you are in BS ships think of this.
FIRST: setup, setup, setup.
SECOND: skills, skills, skills
THIRD: tactik, tactik, tactik
FORTH: SETYP, SKILLS and TACTIK
amazing how peopel miss to read up, and hey, its still JUST a game :D stop complaining if you dont follow the new rules that pop up :D

From the patch notes:
"The sequences "In the midst of deadspace" and "Technological secrets" have had their difficulty decreased."
I know these were tough, but I'm a better pilot because of them. It's a shame that they couldn't leave them alone.

er... um... I haven't tried a lvl 4 mission yet, though I soloed many of my lvl 3's in a Caracal, saving the tougher ones for my Ferox.
As far as lvl 4 agents go, though, I've opened up every single lvl 4 agent that the Caldari Navy has available. Only the lvl 5s are closed off to me.
My "birthday" is 2005, 12, 12. This character is less than a month old.

I only started runnning level 3 missions last week. I completed Tech Secrets on Sunday in my Gila, shield-tanked with four heavy launchers. I found the best way to approach mission 3 was to warp in, bookmark and warp out. Then warp back in at 80km range from the bookmark. The 50% missile velocity bonus on the Gila really helps as I can target and hit at 60km, so I stay out of range of most rats while blowing them to hell.
Just finished Angels Extra and that was a cakewalk. Next up is Black Market Hub. Time to see whether it lives up to the hype.

I haven't done tech secrets yet, but I have been able to do all the level 3's and level 4's I've been offered. Serp extra level 3, 30 minutes, level 4 about an hour. Angel ex level 3 60 minutes, level 4 1.5 - 2 hours. The only one that I've found to be a serious pain in the behind is angel surprise simply because the angels in that one seem to have high therm/kin resistance.
I fly a domi, and just adapt my setup depending on what I'm fighting.

Haha, you guys necroed this thread. For a minute I thought they increased the difficulty of the missions again. They really aren't *that* bad. Spy Stash is tricky, but definitely doable in a Prophecy on your own.

I started "The Black Market Hub" just before downtime and cleared the first area using my Mrymidon. It has been one of my harder fights getting down to 50% armour & running out of cap. After downtime I came back I cleared the second area without too much trouble. There wasn't a second wave and I never saw the freighter with the mission cargo. A similar thing happened with Portal to War part 2. Three battle ships & escorts jumped me just as I'm racing to pick up the mission loot. They stripped my armour & 49% hull in 20 seconds. When I went back next day the the acceleration gate was gone. Now I have to take faction hits when I ditch the mission.
These timed mission appear bugged with downtime.

What the f*** !!!!! I just played Technological Secrets (3 of 3), thats a new lvl3 mission with my raven and a corp member in an eagle
They beefed this one up pretty well indeed. Normally it was quite easy to do, but I played it two weeks ago in my Drake and nearly had to warp out.
But unless they modded it again, its doable in a Drake with BC4 skill and relatively cheap named stuff. I have more probs with some missions in the Raven actually. Get a Drake, insure it, fit rat specific hardeners and give it a try.

stop all your whining isnt harder missions better for the game and makes it more of a challenge. Anyway to me most missions haven't become harder at all i can still do pretty much any lvl 4 in my raven with ease

Yea, ive notcied the plex getting harder...i believe this crap payment these agents give us should be boosted up for sure. Its rediculous. I was running a lvl3 one for Caldari Navy...forget the name and i need to call 2 of my buddies in for help. I was in a Hurricane, had another guy in a Myermidon (tanking + rep drones) and a Typhoon. We couldnt beat it before without the drones...please boost payments from agents they are absolutly rubbish.
