no. just fix mining agents so they give a proper amount of mining missions rather than only ~60% mining missions.
ccp fix mining agent missions % pls |

Never done mining missions myself (actually any mining to speak of) but I have to ask what level these missions are?
If they are lvl3-4 missions, they aren't supposed to be easy.
It's possible the answer you are looking for is lrn2gas/ice mine...?

the non-combat (mosty industry departments of corps: IE: storage, production...etc)
give those out too..
very annoying...
with FIVE gas harvesters, it takes about 4 hours to do the level 4 (note: I did this when they 1st come out, and I dont think they changed it..) ... for 200k ....
ice missions, better, about an hour in a mack.... for 200k
yeah... they are a pain.

yup, definitely a pain. A lot of sitting around not having fun doing what you don't want to do. Even better, the lvl 4 combat missions given by the mining agents.. how is a Mining and industry specced character supposed to do those? Yes, you can refuse these missions, but... the last time I tried mining missions, of ten missions I ran, three were mining, two were combat, the rest were ice and gas. I trained my industry character to use the gas harvesters up to lvl 4, but since I don't want to mine gas, there's no way I am going to waste more time to take it to 5. I have a pvp/pve character, so the combat missions aren't a problem, except, I went to the mining missions to relax for a while, and the first thing that happens is that I get AE from a mining agent..... I have seen several complaints about mining agents, I will say, that by switching the mining missions to offshoot ores at least they put them back in, but they are still so much of a pain, that hey arent worth doing. All missions offer the occasional pain of a mission, like COurier missions when I am trying to run combat missions, however, at least they can usually be refused, without getting three or four of them in a row.. Unlike mining missions. I quit doing them some time ago, just because combat missions pay better, in isk, and in LP.. oh yeah, then theres the loot that also makes you isk... did I mention salvage???? OH!!! yeah, there are also several combat missions you can MINE.... what you get with mining missions is a lot of time, not a lot of isk, and seldom is there anything left over when you are done. you get a single small ice crystal, or a single strange offshoot of some ore type, when it pops, theres nothing else there. If they were even remotely worth it, I would do mining missions, but currently they are way more of a pain than they are worth.

The problem isn't these missions. It's the power nerfing around these missions. Gas and Ice missions were the best place to get the occasional low sec ore in high sec. That got removed and the missions are now grossly under paid. As it is right now, you will need to do 50 L4 Gas missions just to pay for the book. At 4 hrs a pop, that's a bit like overkill.
Mind you they said at fan fest, they wanted more interactive content in EvE space. That's why the made it pointless to blow up mission structures, make all the rocks in mining missions non mineable or non sellable, make all rocks smaller so it appears like there are more people mining.
I don't understand the logic but who am I to object?

Doing industrial missions would only serve for a player getting standings for R+D for invention materials. (so in the long run they are uber!)
Moaning your underpaid just makes me think your greedy! If you want more money for your missions train combat skills and do some security missions. But you'll be complaining in a few months time that farming LP isn't as good as R+D!

Translation: PvP in T2 Cruisers Macro mine ice. The rest is window dressing to leave the appearance of depth.
