My questions for you in this regard are 3:
1: Do you feel this issue is important to you or people you fly with in FW?
2: What do you think is causing the imbalance between the faction missions where some factions can run their missions with SB while others need to bring a "bigger boat."
3: If some balance were to be brought across lvl4 FW missions, should it be geared towards everyone needing a "bigger boat," or everyone being able to run in stealth bombers?
1 - Yes. Missions should be the bread-n-butter for earning LP.....not plexing.
2 - DPS application and ECM. I have personally run level 4 missions for Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar (no experience with Amarr). Cal and Min are stupid easy to solo in a stealth bomber. Gallente...not only do you have to tank the crap out of your ship to deal with the 'missile spam', but even having a sensor strength of well over 100 (113 on my fit) does not protect you from constant jams.
3 - Personally don't care in what direction it goes, as long as all are relatively balanced.

The issue people have is that SBs can run these missions for some factions, but not others.
1)Put the warp in beacon into the rat spawn.
2)Remove gates
3)Improve range and tracking of rats so that stealth bombers need to get closer.
4)Get rid of ewar rats. Every time a rat ECMs you for 20s 5 times in a row God kills 7 kittens.
From personal experience with my fits running Minnie and Cal FW missions in bombers...1 and 3 won't completely 'fix it' unless you introduce webs (or up the DPS).
As is, I can AB+local rep pretty much anything when missioning. Some more than others with a heavy dose of caution, but for the most part doable. Granted, my mission fits are a bit "shiney", but still immensely cheaper than what I need to run Gal missions... |

Mission running is completely orthogonal to the problems facing FW. Totally unrelated.
Not totally so. It's all about the LP...
Cut LP earned from plexing (which will cause massive, massive tears but has been way too generous for far too long) so that missions become the bread-n-butter (again) for earning LP...
