Not in the difficulty sense, but the boredom sense. I show up to the station and dock my DESTROYER with 5 LAZERS of DEATH only for my agent to give me a freaking courier mission?! WTF. Pickup this scientist, drop him off here....wow derrrr okaayyyyy huhuhhhuh, i tink i can handle dat *drool*
Why can't I just start on l3 missions? I have the ships...please tell me there are no courier l3 missions, I just want to kill stuff and salvage their "corpses".
Totally irrelevant but this post made me giggle and there for made my day ;) tnx!
if you run for the right type of agent you should get no to very little courier missions.

See the table with mission types per division. I get the rare pure courier mission from security/internal security but usually it's the "KILL DEM ALLZ AND BRING ME THIS DUDE" type of courier, which is good because someone has to die.
Check the EVE forums 'want to sell' section for 'standings gain services'. It will costs you a billion or so but there's a bunch of people there who will raise your standing with whatever faction(s) you want so that you can dive straight into L3/4 missions.Quote:

About a week in I fitted a Condor with warp speed rigs. Finding a rep from the Archives division might be a good idea.
Heh, FedEx boat? :DQuote:

Will I be able to go back to the agent and get the quest again?
I looked up blockade runners and don't really feel like dumping 90m isk on one, still need to get that Orca.
Another thing, these l1 missions I'm "grinding" wouldn't so bad if docking/undocking/warping/acceleration gating didn't take so long! I spend more time doing mundane stuff like that, than spent in actual combat.
Once you hit decline it's gone - good news is that courier missions aren't worth as much in terms of faction standing gain so you didn't lose out all that muchQuote:

Also watch out for storyline missions that are part of a chain (e.g. 1 of 3, etc) - only the last one gives the faction standing gain so it's easy to decline the earlier ones without realising
