Faction Warfare Guide Series: Missions

Subsparx, though a misguided lost soul who fights for the Caldari, has produced an excellent guide to a part of faction warfare that I haven't tried yet: running missions.  You will be sent deep into enemy territory to achieve an objective, usually killing one or more targets. I recommend you watch this video. When the Gallente next reach tier 3 or 4 I hope to be able to try this.  I also see an opportunity I didn't know about before; if you see a beacon in your current system that has a FW mission name, warp to it and see if there are any good wrecks to loot. FW mission runners don't care about looting their wrecks and may not even be adequately armed to fight you if you attack them.
