I've already heard a few horror stories about this new agent mission called The Blockade. Newbies getting blown up at the jumpgates. People losing their loads of Tritanium.. But it's a cool mission. And it's close proximity to the jumpgate makes it more of an attraction for others to see..
You warp to the specified jumpgate in the system. And wave after wave of cruisers start popping in. With people coming and going the whole time. The ships did not appear to be interested in attacking other players that flew by, but maybe if I were to have warped away. Dunno though.. 
There should definitely be more agent missions located close to stargates, asteroid belts, and stations for sure. It just makes more sense than thoughs missions where you warp out into the middle of no where, where no one can watch you blow stuff up.
And with the bigger grids, you could always just put the missions further out.. Like 80km to 250km out from the civilians flying around. Even some that are 400km out.

Can't wait for the lvl4 mission version of the mission. Where large npc battleship fleets orbit the gate 
But seriously, if this mission has to go they could place this mission around a planet.
There are supposed to be people on planets. |

I agree that missions like this are great for the immersion. Like the mission that spawned 50k rats outside of the stations that would attack anything.
That was great as everyone would gang up to beat them off. I still remember being in Isaziwa, not paying attention to local and I came out the station and nearly crapped myself. I was desperately trying to get lock on the Moa rat before I got raped.
Good stuff.
I hate the fact that you have to fly off in to the middle of nowhere kill 3 rats and then come back. It's boring as hell. Give us more excitement

It will be temporarily moved to 0.3 space and below during todays downtime, until a fix has been implemented for the bug that's causing the pirates in this mission to attack innocent bystanders. By design the pirates are only supposed to target the mission doer, but they will fight in self defense should any other player attack them of course.

It's hilarious, I went around with my alt last night, basically every system had one or two going at a gate lol. I think it should be adjusted so only the person doing the mission can actually look in the cans though, other players can get a "this item does not belong to you" message.

Zrakor, I think there is a small contradiction here. Pirats that dont attack 'innocent' bystanders? These must be the first pirats with a moral I have ever seen!  I'll ask mOo to let me pass unharmed next time I encounter them: Hey I am only an innocent bystander you know! 
Just leave the mission/pirats as they are. Folk should learn to watch their behinds while traveling even in high secure space!

Strongly seconded. Most people dont realize its a mission and someone just killed there, but i've aleady experienced player waiting at gate to rush in and get loot from the larger rat kills.

I say keep it as well this is about the most risky mission I've seen and missions should be a bit risky but most can be done at warp in at 60 and just fire and collect loot, in this one I was fighting hard to survive all the way, not knowing what the next spawn would bring knowing I would have no time to recharge shields/cap inbetween.
But if you can't have it at the gate just make it spawn a few thousand km outside gate or something, because its cool that it was at a gate and all that but its the actual mission I want I could'nt care less about location.
These are not the only mission rats that target other people either, I'm always getting targetted at belts and stations in .9 and above because missions rats are there.
