Thanks everyone, this thread is very helpful. Haven't tried any of the advice, but it has me planning :)

Ouch, Human Cattle is one of the hardest level 2 missions. As others have pointed out, you can do most level 2 missions in frigates with the right setups, but this is not trivial and you'll go though a few frigates getting it sorted out. Rifter (med shield extender+hardeners) and Punisher (lots of armour hardeners) are the best for this.
Alternatively, find someone else who's bored with level 1 missions, and team up?

There's is one indication of how hard a mission is that a lot of players overlook.
The size of the bounty being offered for completeing it.
Level 2 missions vary greatly in difficulty, some are much easier then say the level 1 Worlds collide mission, many others harder, and some just plane insane.
If you can solo Worlds Collide at level 1,which if my memory serves me well, pays about 300k with time bonus, use that as a baseline when you are offered a level 2.
Remember, you can look at the details of a mission and decide if to take, or not, a mission without penalty. So long as you remember to turn down the mission, and do it only once every 4 hours with the same agent.
I've found, as a Punisher pilot, this is a good guide and a nice way to see if I can 'stretch' it into more difficult level 2 missions by only accepting those missions that only pay a bit more then higher end level 1's

As pointed out before, some missions are hard to *****. As far as i figured out nearly all of em are manageable one or another way. "Worlds Collide" for example is one of the easiest an best payed lvl1 Missons. Why? Because you can do it in an nearly unarmed Slasher. Simply fly through as fast as you can, ***** the 3 cuties guarding the "damaged heron" pack in the people and off you go. Why bother with all the other ships if you donŠt have to?
As for "human Cattle" I have run a couple of ships against the wall during time, but I figure IŠll try it again. A Rupture worked quite fine solo, but my connetion got lost ans so did my shipy (5/5 pretty at the end of the mission) Thrasher didnŠt work out even if I fitted them with range upgrades and tech II Small Artillery. It simply takes to long getting into fire range and the Missile Turrets are placed in a triangle meaning you have to fly quite a distance to get them all. Not to mention the nerve taking Frigs that can really harm a ranged ship...
So I think I will try it in a Rifter this time. Put some Resistence amps in it, fit it with 2 Small AC II a shield booster and see what happons. Size can be of major importance against missiles so a Rifter will take far less damage then a Destroyer.
I simply will have to find out which type of damage the missiles deal and will report back later on how it worked out :)
There was another mission some people reported haveing trouble with even in a Cruiser. You have to hunt down a single guy in a Frig guarded by 12 others (or so). In this one the setup IŠm planing to use in Human Cattle worked pretty fine. Meaning I had to jump out once but had no trouble completeing it.
I think it is much more fun trying missions wich actually are a size to big. Thats the only way you learn how to max out your ships and thereby prepares you for PvP and everyone is going to need that from time to time...
So long,
Antwari

What kind of weapons are you guys using on your rifters? I can't get past HC 4/5 because I keep getting slowed down and can't get within range of the intercepter to kill it. I've got 2 200mm 'Scout' AC, 1 150mm 'Scout' AC, and a launcher. I can't seem to get within 8km of any of the targets.

L2 missions in an interceptor is a blast. Those of you doing L2s in a Rifter might try out a Claw if you can manage it. Personally I use a Crusader but whatever works for ya.
