As the server has been mirrored today and skills are up to date (3rd October) I decided to head to a low sec system and try a few suicide runs to see just what to expect.
first attempt was a against Caldari with T2 tanked Megathron, with Dual Lar II's, TII hardeners, an Eanm II and a DCU II. because i had heard about the nuet towers i fitted 7 diminishing Nos in hi's. my aim wasnt to try to complete the mission , just guage the incoming DPS
first mission, no nuet towers but also no BS close enough to nos and I had no Ab to close the range. I lasted exactly 6 minutes and 27 seconds before the dps overwhelmed the 2 lars.
Next i tried a hyperion for its rep amount bonus (I have BS V) uber faction fit this time plus I used 3 rep amount rigs and my main clone with armor implants. Eft told me I could perma run the 2 lars without the Nos so I felt safe(er) Total repair rate was 3200 hp per 10.5 second cycle. (Lars were just TII)
This time the mission was Serpentis so I had 88% Kin Therm resists.
Mission was called "Honor" I warped into an empty room and then the spawns started, somewhere in the mess of red were 2 nuet towers. I set some drones on one of them but even with 7 heavy Nos active I was at zero cap and dead in 3 minutes.
definetly not soloable in any active tanked ship. maybe in a passive shield tanker.
here is the Quickfit log analisys

Note that damage equates to only 224 dps incoming but the spawns were spaced a minute apart so it was getting hotter by the second. most of that damage was in the final minute as the BS locked me and got in range.

Yes my little trial taught me a few lessons and one was lvl V's are not worth the aggro, it would take forever to finish those two missions with even 3 in gang. and rewards are barely sufficient if only one shares them. I was in a 0.2 system and the first mission only gave 8k lp's,2nd 14k despite my having all the connections books at lvl 4. Used to get 12k in a 0.3 on lvl 4 missions.

I forget now but at least one of the 2 missions i tried were in deadspace so Caps cant enter, second mission "Honor" had more than one room as well.
other point is out of the 4 missions I recieved (I refused 2) all were in another system so a cyno would be required. Altogether way too much hassle for a mission. Both systems I tried had only one lvl V agent each so if you keep having to refuse deadspace missions you will have a lot of 4 hour waits. Murethand and Aeshee. Fed intel and Customs.
Whats worse is with most missions in another system it leaves you wide open to gate camps on top of the easier probing risk with non deadspace missions I wouldnt be risking a 1 bill Carrier or T2 BS for 14k lp's.
