do I have to worry about doing combat or is it only mining with no hazards and if there is hazards in the way of enemies can a frigate do it

In general if there are any npc’s they are of the same type to normal asteroid belt npc’s. There are a couple that have spawns of Rogue Drones but only up to cruiser sized and they can be tanked fairly easily.
A flight of t2 light drones will see you through all level 4 mining missions.

LP varies between 2k and 4k per mission, isk between 1 and 1.5 million per mission.
Those are dependent on your social skills, the sec rating of the system etc etc

don’t worry, but don’t remain still.
I did them in an orca and it can easily tank all the rats.
add a proc (with drones) and you kill the rats with ease. 2 drones guarding the orca, three drones waiting by the proc, profit - meanwhile the orca drones can mine.
Drones to a Cloud would be the concern. Because it is a Gas Harvesting mission - you primary options are Venture or a Prospect. You are unable to eliminate the source of the Drones spawning. (which can be done in the one of the Ice missions). So they will just keep coming. A tight 500m orbit. Solid drone skills with a Venture or a decent armor tanked Prospect.
The only other bother - is that a couple of missions have distances of 30km or 45km from the arrival point to the goal Asteroid/s. A barge/exhumer usually cannot fit a prop-mod without using a mobile depot to refit for mining. Else, slow-boat into position.
I never felt the need to min-max for the Crystals necessary for the high-end pseudo ores, and just stuck with tech1 Mining Strips for omni usage - but it is also something to consider.
