Is this a bad joke or what? Personnaly, I'm the kind of guy who likes to run missions alone. A CNR is fine for lvl 4's, but when it comes to lvl 5, its not proper at all. Whats the point of preventing carriers and dreads from entering +0.5 and up? Dont tell me ''lag'', I'm pretty sure it would lag less than Jita is. So I guess training caps ship is useless, since I can't even use them! Lets get in a golem and be lame...
Seriously, think about it again... It is simply lame. I'm sure vets will tell me to stfu and get a gang, but yeah...
Forbiding them here is one of the worst things you've done. Gratz.

Yes, but some of my missions are in high sec, like .5. So when it happens, I'm screwed... Being able to use them where missions are located would be usefull, am I wrong?

You don't need a cap ship to do any level 5. Most can be done with a battleship and two logistics remote repping.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I strongly suspect that CCP has ensured that all L5 missions occur in lowsec, probably by putting the agents in constellations with no hisec systems. Also, what's to stop you declining the one mission in hi-sec? --- Sig Starts Here --- Lord Haur - Imperial Academy Logistical Support

But that would require teamplay and if I understad the op correct he prefers the single player version of EVE but wants to earn the teamplayers benefits.
So please CCP give him what he wants or he will quit in emorage.

And I'm not asking much, allow caps ONLY where missions are, I guess it would not be too hard to make right?

The answer here is to resist and buffer tank your raven (no point bringing a CNR to a L5 tbh), and have a basilisk or scimitar in gang. 4 large shield transfers should keep you going. Hell, even a rokh setup for shield transfer, cap recharge and scan res would do the job.

A mission runner complaining about not being able to come to highsec. I've officially have seen it all.
And everybody knows L5's are **** compared to the # of L4's you can complete in that time.

So you are saying that you have a Level 5 agent in lowsec. When you accept a mission he sometimes sends you to highsec to complete a Level 5 mission?
I am not certain about this but that definitely sounds like a bug. |

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I strongly suspect that CCP has ensured that all L5 missions occur in lowsec, probably by putting the agents in constellations with no hisec systems. Also, what's to stop you declining the one mission in hi-sec?
Around 1/3 of the level 5 missions i get from my agents are in highsec, which is a good thing, since they can be done solo in a nighthawk with faction shield resistance amplifiers. Hopefully this won't be changed.

Wrong. there are various agents in Highsec that give Highsec missions most of the time.
There is one located next to stacmon i beleve in gallente space. Gives out missions VS serpentis in highsec about 8/10 missions. I've seen streaks of 20-30 highsec missions in a row when we dumped multiple gangs on the same agent. -- Real men corpse tank Void Forums The Chaotic Order Forums |

one of the reasons for no caps in high sec is specifically so people can't run missions in carriers

True, although im not sure if its possible to cyno caps into the actual mission area. Never tried this before.

Yes there are carriers in hi-sec and they can mine and such..

Med slots are empty, looks funny.

3 Concord battleships dump the cap of a capital ship in less than 30 seconds, with no hardeners concord hits you for about 3k wrecking non stop. So you die about 50 seconds after that In a chimera.

Look, I'm going to put this one down right now. I rat in a carrier. I run high end cosmic anomalies, and even a few hours camping belts when the spawns are right.
They're nice for firepower with the fighters, that's about it. As far as tanking goes, they're actually not that impressive.
First off, you may have scads of shield points and resists you can push into the high 80s with T2 components, but you also have a sig radius that pretty much ensures whatever hits you is going to be hitting near the peak of its damage output. In belts and cosmic anomalies, its nothing particularly threatening, but throw in NOS towers, NPC jamming (yes, kids, Dire Guristas can shut the big guys down as easily as anything else) with warp scrambling frigates, and you may actually be shocked at the kind of trouble you can get a capital in against NPCs. I'd honestly have serious second thoughts about putting my Chimera into a level 4 Worlds Collide, because the Tech 2 Battlecruisers can be tanked out so much better to cope with the sheer battering power of the rats in them.
As far as damage output, the fighters are pure sex against battlecruiser and battleship rats. They're ok against cruisers, and against frigates and destroyers, they suck horribly. They don't autoaggro successive targets like drones, so if you get jammed up, you're basically piddling your putz waiting to lock on again, praying you can lock on before they start jamming again. Standard drone swarms are nice, but realistically, you can do that kind of firepower with a pair of battleships better equipped to deal with the damage output of the NPCs at a fraction of the billion plus ISK you're spending on the carrier.
I only carrier rat because I get bored as hell doing logistics and POS bashing and I'm not overly keen about sticking it in a station that I could lose access to or get camped in, or at a POS where I've had stuff stolen from me before.
Capital ratting is a novelty thing, its NOT the best or most efficient way to get the job done. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

Originally by: Stefx you can refuse one mission every 4h without standing loss
This. And even refusing them isn't that bad, the faction standig loss isn't bigger as refusing level 4s, its something like 0,01%, you can refuse dozens of missions and repair the faction standing loss with one level 4 storylines. If you train your social skills, the agent/corp standing loss of 3-4 refused missions will be repaired with 1 successfull (at least when you are close to the magic -2 barrier with diplomacy skill at 5) mission. Build up your faction standing, learn how mission-picking works, and there is no problem. Don't know why there are recently so many posts about allowing caps into highsec. As someone mentioned above, most of the missions have acceleration gates anyways.
