Destroyer for L2 missions. If you are 50+ km away from the enemy, there is no real need for tank. Alpha friendly.

_laughs in 2004_ Cruisers were 3.5 to 7 mil back in the day, depending on which tier cruiser you were buying. But back then a Typhoon was 50-65 mil and a Tempest was between 75-110 mil. ---

Well they all have the mineral cost of the higher tiers now, so we have to go with that, as it is just mineral cost effectively. ---

I agree, when you go out from the starter agents, normal missions pay really really bad. Creates a big gap and most of the players drop out the game because cannot reach the money, even more if your ship have been destroyed. They should check this and improve the payment. ---

> [@Borsho](#): > > They should check this and improve the payment. The payments are just fine like they are. The problem are the players. Many of these players that come from other games that dont require the time investment try to play EVE and want to advance much too quickly. The result is thinking that the system is broken because they havent put in the time. The OP has been told this several times by several people. Yes, it takes quite a bit of time to save up for the next tier ship to do the next tier missions. You cant just jump from one to another in the matter of a few weeks…especially when youre _not training your skills_ like youre supposed to. This is a player issue…not a game issue. People need to slow down, save their isk, and advance through the game as intended. Doing it any other way will be a huge fail for whoever tries. ---

Do something else if you are not happy with your L2. You decided to follow the most safe path… and not happy with it. Your personal problems. ---

I would like to agree, but CCP should show the percentage of people that drops the game after doing the basic agents to know if your point is right. ---

Interesting thread. Why did the OP stop posting on @somegirlsarehot, but made a new character to post on @varrra ? [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/cruisers-recommended-for-l2-missions-but-they-dont-pay-anywhere-near-cruiser-15-mil-price/510866.md?page=3)
