its ccp's way of giving goons more ****. aka the surrounding area is gsf space in most parts Umm, you're aware both locations are in high sec, right? ApanakeLanngisiPS. nb4, waaaah! No lvl 4 combat agent in Gallente high sec space. Since no one has done it yet I guess I will. No lvl 4 security missions for Gallente high sec still? I understand this seems a bit unfair but we tried our best to spread the agents out so none of the new ones are instantly the most popular, most obvious choice and it seemed a bit overkill to introduce/upgrade 3 more agents at this point.
Was just joking, someone brought it up so I wanted to play along. Already in Lanngisi and enjoying the newly promoted agent. Thanks. |

Anyhow, for me it is the proximity to COSMOS that attracts the most. I checked ever other system in Ani constellation, but I forgot to check Lanngisi itself. I should've looked harder... Hm, maybe I should visit

Could've used one somewhere in amarr space, they're all quite far out if your playground is the Empress's back yard. Even a L3 combat would get good traffic from the locals. |

But if you are pulling SoE missions in Aeschee you got 2x L4 security agents and a L3 distribution agent. So more LP per hour if you do it right and don't get caught. With all the gankers at these hubs, it's almost safer and worthwhile to actually run the agents in Aeshee. |

Thanks, but I'll pass.
Also, flaunting a L3 distribution agent... *chuckles*

I would like to know how lowsec missions work. I guess if your corp was in system and it was all blues you could do them but I don't see how a random person could just warp in and run them. Even in something fast like a T3 you would still get pined down by a couple recons.
L3 security agents are good for lower skill pilots that simply take too long to do level 4s but that's about it. I'm not sure what a level 3 distribution agent would be good for unless to get standings to level 4. You can train a no skill alt into an Iteron Mk V in 33 min so skills aren't an issue to do level 4 distribution missions.

We really don't need the Stratios to cost more than T3s do, which absolutely would be the case if all the agents were in low/nullsec. Remember the pirate faction ships can be acquired from plexes and exploration, the SoE ships have no such source. |

Tips for missioning in lowsec:
- When missioning in lowsec you first want an insta-undock bookmark and an instant dock bookmark.
- Biggest problem you will have is getting caught on jumpgates, but a scout alt can help with that.
- Don't fly blingy.
- The L4 missions are not harder in lowsec, but do give better payouts.
- Battleships are viable in lowsec, but you want to use the MJD and use a snipe setup for missions instead of some of the traditional brawler/tanky fits.
- People still have to scan you down, so you need to watch D-scan. You should be doing this in hisec so you don't get ganked.
- Blitz the missions if you can, don't take missions that require too many jumps, don't take missions that take a long time to complete.
Anyone care to add anything else that I may have missed? |

I am not a "risk averse carebear". I have flown solo/small group of friends in low sec / NPC null / Sov null poaching for years.
When these changes were announced I figured I would diversify my investments with a couple million in SOE LP.
I looked into available agents and determined that Aeshee would be the best place to earn LP.
It was great, I had two fleets blitzing L4s, and was racking up LP like it was crazy, but it takes a lot of overhead to mission in low sec.
1) You can't fly high sec fits. You loose a bit of dps and/or tank compared to high sec fits
2) You have to pay a lot more attention. No more afking while you play with the dogs/make a sandwich / watch TV
3) Some systems are plain of limits for missioning in (if they have scanners up and running).
After the .5 High sec systems opened up, I could make more LP/Hour with less effort moving to high sec.
On top of that, CCP devalued the LP that I had already earned because they increased the LP/hour for high sec missioners.
CCP ruined a great low sec hub with this change. Why? They could have added L4 agents in .7 -> .9 systems but they choose to add the agents to .5 systems and remove any advantage to missioning in low sec.
CCP should be encouraging people to move out to low sec. Not encouraging them to move from low sec to high sec.

The reason is simple. Servers can't handle only one SOE hi sec agent. Not with these new ships around in that lp shop. Its not the first time agents are moved / changed because of server load. Low sec is for blitzing Lev 5 anyway.
Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... *THWONK!*
GOT the bastard. |
