These should be low sec and 0.0 only, and more profitable than level 4 missions for everyone working together in the mission.
I dont know what the devs have said about this, but I feel we've had enough of people getting extreamly rich in the safe, laggy mission hubs with no risks. Its time that the people who do risk their neck get good rewards for it.

Isn't that how it's gonna be done? Or have the devs changed their minds recently?
Not sure, I havent heard anything about it. Maybe they have already decided on keeping them to low sec and 0.0?

Saying that though last time i had a nose at them on sisi the only caldari lvl 5 agents (albeit just tester ones) were both in hi sec 
I hope its just for testing purposes.

I seriously doubt that peeps will start going lowsec in their faction geared ships all of a sudden if you move l5's (eg the current high reward l4's) towards lowsec. I only do missions now because it yields me more then 00 ratting, the calculation for that includes the risk i take of losing my ship once in a while in 00.
Its no secret if you know eve well enough that lowsec empire (apart from "pocket systems") is far more dangerous then 00.
Only if ccp creates something realy valuable to fight for in lowsec, perhaps COSMOS stuff or so, then it will be worth it to fight for.
You dont need faction fitted ships since these are co-op missions where your combined firepower and tank will exceed anything you can put together on your own.
It sounds awesome to me and im really looking forward to these missions myself. They sound like a real challenge.

AFAIK, and I followed closely the subject, CCP thought about putting some lv5 agents in a few 0.5 systems, but I don't think they did more than that. For the moment it's supposed to be low-sec and 0.0 only...
If they do that, then those systems will become severly crowded, just like Motsu, Saila etc. Nobody will risk their neck in low sec/0.0 if its optional.
I really, really hope they put ALL of these in low sec and 0.0. The game needs it.

This isn't the same Jim who made a sizable wallet from trading before they fixed the the markets ?
I remember you telling others in corp chat about how easy it was to make money, when you had enough you went low sec hunting, then came back to the forums, only too keen to tell everone how much of a buzz it was.
Can be good when you have plenty of cash to fund the fun, and cash that was made all in safe space, huge profit safe space and no risk at all.
Same old faces all saying how there shouldn't be so much money in empire or missions but only after they filled their wallets.
Btw you wont remember me as this toon replaces the one I sold, But I remember you.
I made a lot of money trading npc goods in my first 3 months, yeah. That was a year ago and I was happy about making that money. I remember going back and forth between systems, very careful so I wouldnt get suicided. Scanning gates, looking for signs of trouble. I saw posts about haulers getting suicided in the forums now and then. I knew I took risks hauling 40 mill cargo through empire. It was exciting times.
It was very easy to make that money once I found the way, but later on ccp nerfed the markets so it wasnt quick and easy anymore. Easy come, easy go, I guess. Havent traded since then.
And yeah, I spent some of the money getting blown up in low sec. It was great. :)
Im not trying to take away all the ways to make cash in empire. But I think its fair that for the ones who want to try their luck in low sec, they should earn a lot more money per hour than someone who sits in empire. The extra money must be there for when things go wrong so they can replace ships. They are taking risks.
I dont even do missions in low sec today since its not worth it for me. But i want it to be. I want those missions to give me so much money and rewards that im willing to risk my neck doing them. Whats wrong with that?

Why has this even run to two pages? I think sometimes people just like winding themselves and others up on the forums just to get the adrenaline flowing ready to play Eve.
Perhaps this thread could smash into Level 5 & 6 Missions In LowSec Only Stinks and wipe each other out!
See Oveur's Dev Blog, where he clearly states that "Levels 5 and up are all in 0.4 security and below."
There's no ambiguity there.

Before we commit to this though, we'd appreciate your feedback on this proposed package of changes.
Nothing is set in stone.

I think they were going to be in lowsec + 0.0 only?
Yeah, its a suggestion anyway as I understand the blog.

You and me share the same views on this, Spoon Thumb. Nicely written.
