Regular Courier / Distribution missions don’t involve combat, just pick up and deliver items to different stations. For Storyline missions, can use a regular Combat ship to clear the field first.
Anyway, this thread should have been posted in the PvE sub-forum.
you realize that the standing gain from distribution is like 5 times lower than security of the same level, while eg L3S take less time than L3D to finish ?
for L3S standing grinding I use an alt with perfect skills, and a machariel with hyperspatials, 2 TC range scripted, then MWD MJD, extenders, invul, nano and gyros. The only missions that are hard to do are the guristas blockade(since they hit you from 80km) , and … nothing else.
Now if you have an alt with 5+ faction standing, of course blitz some L4s and it will be even faster.
Remember that the social skill of the toon that completed the mission are taken into account wrt standing increase, NOT the toon that was shared the reward, so there is no need to even train the skills of the one you want to increase.
But yeah, if you want to get more standing, just ask people to grind for you. it will cost you less time.
I do not realize. I’ll play with a simple fast fit for this on the cheap.
I’m betting my 10mil Vexor hull that has 180km ranged speed-enhanced drones for clone soldier killing // distance tanking will be an easy fit solution for most combat missions.
… do yourself a favor, buy a cynabal for L1/L2s and a mach for L3s.
distribution missions are crap, whether for isk or reputation. The only good thing is, they don’t have negative faction standing since you don’t shoot rats.
Then yes don’t do any mission that requires to shoot rats. You can do mining missions without shooting a rat (orca is good in even L4M) . Dunno if the standing reward are better for distribution or mining.
