No wait, why like nobody running lvl 5 missions? I've read a bit about how the rewards arn't very good, is ccp ever going to make them worthwhile?

Sorry but you kind of answer your own question there. The rewards are not worth it. However to add a bit more to that, the fact that L5s allow capitals moves them to lowsec and 0.0 as a result taking expensive ships out there is risky and the setups that people use fore L4s are not worth the chance of letting a very happy pirate find a faction fit ship.
many tend to use missions as income to fund other hoppies, PvP or trading, and due to this they like to be able to run anytime they want with a safe enviroment. highsec provides the safty and doing them solo allows for the anytime. going to the L5s means you will likely need a group (profit goes down) and that you will lose the backup of concard if someone attacks you.

Are the rewards better than lvl 4 though? How much better if so?

From what I understand, even the absolute rewards are worse than for L4s. The relative ones if you run in a group will thus be MUCH worse.
There is no 'n' in turret
There is no 'r' in faction
There is no 'a' in Scorpion
There is no 'e' in Caldari
There is no makeup in rogue drones |

The reason is that they are in lowsec
The large majority of mission runners CBA to deal with people camping them, scaning them down or generaly beeing in the way when dealing with more firepower then a dreadnought, warpscramblers and energy neutrilizer batterys
if somone actually decided to move these things into highsec so that people who want to run missions in groups could have a go then they would be imensly more popular :) |

A few problem with lvl 5s.
1. reward is really low. takes too much time to collect tags, sell them and etc... The longer you are outside of station in low sec, the more likely you will get probed out.
2. Faction hit from doing the lvl 5 missions is too much and there is no way we can repair our bad faction. It is a one way trip down the hill. No amount of isk worth getting shot in half of empire systems.
3. No special LP offers for doing lvl 5s. Why bother with it?
4. Lots of pirate groups go into systems with lvl 5 agents. The amount of risk far exceeded reward.
With those problems and you wonder why so few people doing the lvl 5s?

from the recent dev Blog it seems lvl V courier missions will be introduced in Rev III. hehe the prats will love those, and I bet only macro mission farmers will even try one. Unless of course the Agent is in some 0.0 alliance held territory.
I am hoping that amongst the "hundreds" of new missions some will be Lvl V's in hi sec.
But I am not holding my breath on that one :)

Well, stupid people often shoot at salvage ninjas, resulting in CONCORDOKEN.

I've been involved in 3 l5 missions so far. They have problems. 2/3 of them have involved a ship loss through carelessness or problems of one sort or another.
There is an lp cap per mission; lots of l4 missions provide enough lp's to reach this cap, so l5 missions dont provide any more lp than l4's.
l5's require a better tank than l4's; I can do most l4's by myself, but need the assistance of at least one other player with remote armour reps to tank l5's. There are problems controling agro.
I have no evidence either way, but have heard there are no l5 storylines (can anyone cofirm, after having done 16 l5s?).
l5's are long. There are a lot of things to blow up, and it can take ages. This isnt all bad, though.
