Hi!
Read about this matter in some other thread and i just hade to make a own post about it.
I am not shore i understand everything.
I did 30 lvl 3 courier missions in one evning. Yes it took a while but hey it is easy courier missions. After i did all these missions i looked in my wallet and calculated what profit i had got of the work.
1.5 MIL was the profit including time bonus and rewards.
And it took about 3 hours, I did also get 2000 LP.
What i wonder is, is this right. Doesent this feel a bit low for that many missions. Low isk and low LP.
Comparing to kill missions on lvl 3 they earn alot more afaik. Sure there missions are harder, take longer time and can not be done with an autopilot. But they do have bounty, time bonus, reward and loot. I have reward and time bonus.
I would be glad to have this explained exactly. How is it suppose to be equal. Is mission running only for ppl that have gunnery skills and not for industry ppl?
I do get story line missions ofc and they give me sometimes a implant (+3) and it is worth some isk (20mil). Is this they thing that should make it more equal so that i can do many missions fast so i get many implants?
And a question.
How is lvl 4 courier missions comparing to lvl 3?
Thanks

Courier missions have been broken since last September when there was a major change to the mission scripting engine. The devs weren't able to code any new courier missions for the new system in time for release and dropped them all together. Due to popular demand they reinstated a few simple courier missions and promised to put some proper ones in with Kali 2.
Unfortunately the ones they put in were very easy to do and the storylines gave stonkingly good rewards. As for the pre-Christmas patch these have been nerfed and courier missions are now worth about what you'd expect for such an easy risk free endeavour.
All we can do now is wait for Kali 2 and see if CCP keep their promise.
Edit:You should be glad you got the implant. I thought they'd been removed from storylines - my alt has certainly stopped getting them. Consequently I've given up running couriers and my alt is in danger of having his account cancelled.

Thanks for your good answer, atleast now i know what to expect frome this.
Hopefully CCP keep there promis. It is important to have some other option than "kill" if you like to do missions.
IŠll guess i keep doing some missions just to gain standing and be ready when CCP fulfil there promis.
Some times i get the feeling that it is really sad that something have been broken for a very long time and no real info is out. There is so many lose ends here and there that needs to be fixed before ading more lose ends...
Anyway lets hope Kali 2 will bring the joy of courier missions :)

low sec couriers ( aridia is a great place nice and quite) high tech and labour connections to level 4 and 5 will also boost LP ( low sec increases the rewards and LP on level 4 by up to 50% - 100% over high sec agents of the same sub standard) - this is probably where u will make youre iskies i can clear 30-40m in one evening out here. Yes they need some lovin
Historically CCP work on first what most players like to do so they will expand combat missions as most peeps use em then exploration as that is a big buzz thing
so generally if more of us do em CCP will pay em some attention they are a good alt afk thing if high sec only but yes please keep at them as if u do CCp might just bump up their importance level

I have an alt that does 3 courier missions at once (LVL3) and do them while I do other things.
Mainily AFK missions, I get pretty good output from her since doing 3 at 1 time.
Also here standings are getting almost good enough to get a good R&D agent 
LVL 4 courier are alright, little better isk and LP, but as far as being able to do AFK, lvl3 works better since I got 3 agents in same system  (no lvl4 like that)

One of the big problems linked to the low reward, lod LP and low corporate standing gain of courier missions is that almost all the missions I can get from the corporations I do R&D with are courier missions.
So my increase in standing is slow, with slow access to the higher R&D agents.
Currently I am adding level in Research Project management (a 8x skill) faster of the speed with wick I am adding R&D agents in the corporations I am working with.
I do an 3-4 missions every day for them, and I have found a low sec station with a storyline agents of the corporation, so I get the storyline missions from them too, but the increase in standing is very low.
And in low sec doing a courier mission AFK is a no-no.
