Lvl 5 missions in carriers

Edit: so i just got two missions in a row with ship restrictions not allowing for carriers. Is this normal?

L5 missions with carriers

Hi there! So, i want to start doing L5 missions i n carriers, solo. I know the risks, dont fly caps solo etc, but i do not care :smiley: i still would prefer to not lose my ship, that is why i am asking here. I have scoured the internet for tips and tricks, but there is not a lot of information, and if there is, it is outdated. What i have done, is i have found a nice, quiet system, the region the system is in has basicaly no cap kills either. There is one pirate alliance active in the region, they mostly kill smaller ships, with ocasional marauder etc kills in the region. They do not seem to use blops. Might consider trying to join them for ultimate safety!

What i have gathered so far; either keep a ship in each system where missions might occur, scout ahead before jumping thru gates or cyno into mission system. Anything else to note safetywise?

Any general tips on how to run the missions(fighter management etc)?

Any and all comments appreciated, exept for people telling me i might lose a lot of isk, i know :wink:

Thanks in advance, o7

Find a one-gate pocket system, stick an alt on the gate in the system next door, watch for company, start aligning when you see it, let your alt die while you dock your main

Would it not be better to always be aligned? And thanks!

I always try to stay aligned and that is best practice but sometimes you need to kite enemies or burn to a structure and kill it, and it’s easy to forget to align every time

Alright, thanks!
