No indication they will enter a mission site. Had several Level 4 in a system with a well established FOB and confirmed their reaction time to me by warping to 100km of a belt. 30+ seconds later, 2 scouts warped in from off grid and attempted to hold me as a larger mini fleet began to warp in. I had already was aligned and started warping when the scouts appeared, but it confirmed I was identified as a threat to them and that they would react. Ran 3 missions afterwards in system and no reaction. One was “Dread Pirate” and I had to do a short battle before I could use the acceleration gate; there was no warp in by FOB pirates before or after gate use. It appears that as long as you don’t delay at the system’s gate (warp in ) and immediately jump to the mission site, you are safe even if you don’t use an acceleration gate. Will next test if a site is sans acc. gate (i.e., exploration or mission site with no gate) changes their reaction. ---

No point attacking lvl 4 missions, there full of pirates anyway but a few more battleships being introduced into lvl4 mission plexes would be ok with me. ---

I’ve seen them kill orca’s in an ice belt. So that’s one thing. But not in mission sites. ---
