Perhaps I can find one that I find more to my liking. So my question for the folks that do L3 and L4 missions is: What do you fly and what makes it more fun for you then the others? Please no "I fly "X" because "Y" sucks". That is no help. If you do in fact like the Drake and enjoy it, tell me why. maybe I am missing something or more likely doing it wrong. Thanks!
Navy Dominix for rofldrones. It is literally snooze missioning.
Vargur for making stuff explode quickly and immune to Ewar. Downside: Requires me to be awake in some fashion.
HAM Tengu for blitzing. Only downside is the tiny tank and is vulnerable to gankers. |

Way cool! Since I don't plan on flying low/null sec or building a multi-billion ISK ship any time soon, I guess I can build a low end Battleship. The Raven is more missiles and the Navy ships are out of reach financially. The Dominix sounds interesting. |

Cruise Missiles don't swat npc frigates so well, so don't skimp too much on the drone skills
Light Scout & Medium Scout Drone skills will be all you need for a Raven (and the Medium Drones skill is probably overkill) A smattering of the Drone Support skills to L4 will be more than enough for your needs.
For the Dominix you'll need to add the Sentry Drones Skill in addition to S/M Scouts Get your drone support skills to 4 initially, but for a dedicated drone boat like the domi .... you'll want them at 5 fairly soon You can shield tank the Domi quite well too .. add some blasters & it does a large amount of short range dps (around 1200dps with drones)
Training for the Raven & Dominix unlocks the Rattlesnake .. Drones + Missiles is always fun.

To enjoy missioning more I try to use multiple ships in different stages of the mission. Say for example bringing a Hyperion blaster fit for close combat brawling after selectively downing the greatest threat using Navi Domi with sniper sentries.
Make no mistake, the higher level SoE 4 missions can be quite hard so challenge will be there, though I suppose a Marauder has some more room to breatheGǪ |

What ship u fly wont matter, its what u fit it with that can get u ganked. Generally any good missions ship will do great with a T2 fitting. (almost) Noone will gank that |

A ship filled with shiny pithium and faction modules is a nice juicy target to gank, specially if it's setup for PvE instead of PvP.

I do missions on a regular basis and it's an ISK grind. It can be entertaining for a short period but after so many missions it's work. It doesn't matter what ship you fly.
I change up ships depending on the mission and I think that helps a little. It's not that one ship is less boring but just different.
If you want something less like work try some form of PVP. It's more unpredictable and can have a fun factor. The downside is most PVP isn't profitable. If you're short on ISK just do it on occasion. Kill rights can be a downside if you do your PVP in high or lowsec. Maybe keep it to nullsec

I flying a Navy Omen w/ L3 + a logi alt because I like multitask. I don't use the alt for all the missions, only the biggest ones.
For L4: Proteus in some days. I know that not much people like it and prefer the Tengu, but always fly what you feel fun to fly |

I don't like drama and so i prefer to play solo. I still get to blast stuff and play the market and mine all at the same time (2 accts).
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really. |

I'm just going to say that on the rare occasions I do a mission, I fly a Vargur with a 2-slot tank (Large Shield Booster II + Bastion). The rest of the slots are 800 autos, gyros, TE and tracking comps, sometimes sebos.
In the cargo I have a mobile depot and tank mods (invul, shield boost amp, DCU etc). On the VERY rare occasions that the damage is too high, I simply refit for more tank, and as the damage tails off, I refit back to gank. Most of the time, you insta-blapp frigs and cruisers, so you'll never get pointed etc.
Easy mode!
The problem is, no matter what you do, eventually missions, just like all PvE, simply becomes a grind.
Better to go to lowsec and pick a fight! :D |

BTW, I'd like to know if there is general strict warship classification in EVE (worse->better) in line with such a scheme: T1 -> Navy faction -> Pirate faction -> T2 -> T3? |

My mission alt flies a Machariel for grinding Level 3s for standings - Warps fast , moves fast, and most stuff in level 3s starts in autocannon range. A Vargur for hisec level 4s - Salvage drones salvage while I kill and tractor, usually have little downtime to wait while looting/salvaging since most of it is done while running the room Sin for nullsec level 4s - because taking a faction fitted mission battleship through a hostile nullsec gate and/or getting bubbles on stations is suicide . Easier to use another alt to pick up missions and covert cyno the mission running toon into the right systems in safe spots.
