The agent tells you exactly how to fit against a lone target, with huge rewards.

Ok then.

It looks like a good barely hidden disguise to present basic pvp configurations to pve players and put them in similar tactical situations, but against NPCs.

As a frigate pilot, I'm quite excited by these!
Almost sounds like NPC training for real frigate combat against other players, which I wholly welcome!
It'll also give me a nice income running these in lowsec... maybe I can stop selling drugs for a living.... hehehe, naaahhh!

It'll be an interesting way to stress test frigate fits.

+1

if the above paves the way to re-design and re-imagine PvE missions so they resemble more a PvP enviroment i'm sold....otherwise worried they will get farmed and provide an unbalanced source of ISK

This. Also echoing the +1 to Lyn.

As for personal thoughts: "Ava Starfire Mission Generator" about sums it up.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

On second thought, "Ava Starfire Simulator" seems even more accurate. >_>

This looks mighty interesting and a good chance to test out Breacher fits before using them against actual PVPers.

Definitely game to try these out as a PvE option in lowsec, and on paper they seem preferrable to what's available to me now.

Something new to warrior around in pyfa with.

I like them, and would do them, but the lack of having a "Burner missions only" option in its initial phases makes me sad, because I'd rather do frigate PvE as opposed to having to shoot hundreds of NPC in a Battleship.
