High Sec Storyline offered surrounded by only Low Sec path

New Citizens Q&A
1

For right now, I’d prefer to stay in high sec areas, at least with my haulers. After doing 16 hauling missions, I was offered a Storyline mission, but the only way to get there is to travel through low sec space. Is there any way to get Eve to offer this from a different location without doing 16 more missions? Is there a way to prevent this problem in the future?

No.

I think you found the catch.

You could try crying to the GMs and customer support, but i wouldnt hold my breath. Otherwise, not really, no.

Generally, storyline mission locations are tied to where you are running your missions. So you would need to move your base of operations to farther away from lowsec routes and find a storyline missions nearby that isnt so far out.

Are you sure its passing through lowsec? Are you sure you havent put “Show shorter” route, instead of “Show safer” route?

Yes. Use your route planner to choose “higher sec systems” to travel through, rather than fastest or low security.

If it is completely surrounded, then see if you can go through the least amount of low sec sites as possible. Remember, going to low sec systems does not mean you will be attacked. It all depends on who is in each system when you get there.

Also, read the mission text by talking to storyline agent - it might need you to just buy something from the market and turn it in, and then you won’t have to talk a hauler and can take a faster ship.

It all depends. Look up the “warp/cloak trick” and that will help you warp in a safer fashion, making it less of an issue when going through low sec.

Good luck

doesn’t matter what type of agent AFIAK, you’ll always get the agent closest to you… make sure you aren’t running near lowsec as it can potentially send you through there.

you can look on the map to see where the closest one is… if you choose not to do at agent, you can let it sit, and do another 16 missions and get the next closest agent

Go for it and enjoy the thrill. Don’t worry about losses, just don’t go blingy.
Some tips:

  • Fit an agile ship (do you need a slow hauler or is a quick Imicus or Sunesis perhaps the better choice?)
  • bounce at random celestials
  • check local chat
  • hire a scout

After some tries lowsec isn’t very dangerous any more.
