just recently started doing missions till I get a computer that doesn't crash all the time getting my ships blown up =(. Thought I'd start up a thread to see what others know and put our knowledge together.
mining agents give: mining missions, courier missions, and combat missions. I'm unsure of the % ration but it is mostly mining and courier (if I had to guess I'd say more mining than courier)
lvl 4 mining agents:
they will give mining, courier and combat missions... but they will also give gas cloud harvesting and ice harvesting missions (I never got a ice or gas mission for lvl 3 agents)
gas missions - usually require u to mine 425 units of gas, will take you a bit over an hour with 3 gas harvesters.
ice missions - usually require u to mine 20 units of ice
ore missions - usually require u to mine 40,000-45,000 m3 of ore
mission to mine green arisite - has hedbergite floating around this deadspace which u can mine for personal profit
special missions:
bountiful bandine - mine 2000m3 bandine (veldspar clone), I have got this exact same mission from lvl 2,3 and 4 agents.
rats:
in mining missions you will often have rats jump you (I've noticed this hasn't been as common in lvl 4 missions as to lower lvl missions). These will usually be frigs, and maybe a couple of cruisers in lvl 3 missions. In lvl 4 missions you may have a few cruisers jump you, I have yet to find something a hulk can't handle or any warp scrambling rats (at least not yet).
thanks for reading to the bottom and pls add anything you've found

Now... if the agents that give mining missions would just stabilize.
I spent an entire evening moving all my mining stuff to start working with an agent that according to the official guide gives out mining, only to find out the latest reports from unofficial agent sites say that type never give out mining. (if nothing else, the official guide REALLY needs updating... grrrrrr)

Mining missions do look interesting.
Typhado3, have you run any level 4s in the past? If so, in your experience, would you be able to top or at least equal them in monetary terms? Looking at around 20-30 mil an hour from level 4s if you include salvage/refined mods/bounty/LP store/mission themselves.

current lvl 4 (Q 17, eff Q 43)
takes aprox 40 min (if I had the t2 crystals and t2 strips I could get aprox 20% faster mining)
reward:
2.4 mil isk (negotion is at lvl 5)
3.5 k LP (I do not have either of the Labor or trade social skills trained)
This seems about average from what I've seen so far. the main problem is you don't get loot or bounties except for a few frigs and cruisers.
I've done a fair few lvl 4 combat missions before and my estimate is that these aren't as profitable isk wise as combat missions. They do seem to bring in a lot more LP though and being on average quicker to complete means more faction missions.
Last point is that these missions seem to be going through a lot of small changes by ccp atm.
ccp pls do something about minmatar ew. target painters suck and mauraders can use both our racial ew |

3.5 k LP (I do not have either of the Labor or trade social skills trained)
With the connection skills at V each, I get 5.5-6k LP per top end mining mission.
Some of the missions have 400-500k m3 of veld/scord to mine if you like that sort of thing and you're not focused on turning missions over quickly, it's like having a private mining belt which aren't easy for the average can flipper to locate (note I said average can flipper, missions can of course be found out by the dedicated prober, a different species from the average can flipper).
There is also a ice mission which requires 20 units of alternate ice which takes only 2k m3. That mission can be done in 10 minutes or so and it is a 5.5k LP payer for some reason.
