I'm thinking about doing burner blitzing but I don't quite understand the document you posted because I know nothing about these missions at all, so the info is contextless. Are they available from any L4 agent? Do I have to have a separate burner boat ready for every possible burner mission? I also imagine it would be a good idea to use a non-alliance character for this as well.
Yes, burners are available from all L4 combat agents and you need a small pool of different ships to do them. You don't quite need one ship per mission type - several of the frigate ones can be done with a daredevil, for example, and a bunch of others can be done with a garmur. You probably don't want to use a character in goonwaffe to do them if you're going to do it in highsec, but it shouldn't make much difference if you're running them in low or nullsec. Burner farming is quite good ISK as PvE goes but it's a very active form of grinding - not really something you can do while semi-afk. The missions aren't hard per se once you have the minmaxed fits and so on, but quite a few of them are unforgiving in that if you mess up your heating or whatever then you'll lose your ship.

Hm I'll take a closer look then. I actually prefer high-reward full-attention activities to semi-afk, because I frankly don't have the type of computer time for semi-afk activities. I'm either fully engaged or I'm doing something else.

I have two guys who can fly all frigates with all weapons with support skills 4 or higher. Both are presently in GSF but I could probably do some shuffling. One of those two started as a FW alt so she has something like 9.0 standing with Minmatar and 7.0 with Gallente, so I can probably just dive straight into the missions, but she doesn't have the skills needed to do the battleship blitzing. The other is my main, who is closing in on that "wtf do I train now?" point, and has some decent NPC corp standings, but I guess I can just move him into an NPC corp for a while since I'm not actually doing any things with him either. I also have a really good tenguman who is presently just serving as a cyno alt, but I'm not sure if tengumen are useful for doing this poo poo.

I got fired from an escalation service for going AFK for too long and not saying anything. My tenguman can easily do escalations, but I'm just not playing with enough regularity to offer a reliable service for other players.

Of course if I could code I would have made my own escallation web application ages ago and just hired other sperglords to run them for me and take a tiny monthly cut and just get free isk, but I can't code.

Some news about the running live event to help building the new citadels: Player-organization tries to extort NPC-corporation, gets hosed

Aparently all Upwell-construction sites got basically destroyed in less than two days. Now it turns out Serpentis agents "sabotaged" the construction site and new sites with "improved shielding" are up. I'm guessing the new sites are now invulnerable.

OSS (a player organization which destroyed a site in NullSec) even tried to extort the Upwell Consortium, which is either really brazen or really stupid, considering they're NPCs. But CCP rolled with the punches and made two lore-news items about this. OSS is now excluded from the live event UC's BPC-raffle which means I really hope no member of OSS already had stuff contracted and accepted by the Inter Bus-NPC dealing with this, because it is now considered null and void.

But I'm sure the Upwell Consortium will put all the stuff contracted by OSS to good use. (And if they weren't even involved in this, no harm no foul, I guess.)

This is actually pretty cool. It's not like OSS was arbitrarily excluded: I'm kind of glad the devs are playing along with it.

Edit: I hate my new phone's autocorrect.

I'm doing pvp instead of shambling around in a zombie alliance groaning about the gud fites it used to have.

Its completely idiotic to think its fine for highsec income to be just as rewarding as nullsec income considering the risk/reward factor. Either nullsec needs a buff, or highsec income needs a nerf. Therefore it is kind of our concern. Stop having lovely opinions, or go share them on reddit instead.

buffing the hig risk income of nullsec wouldn't drive people away from highsec from the low risk equivalent income of highsec. highsec needs nerfing.

I personally don't mind if people decide to stay in highsec and never set foot in null. Their playstyle, not mine so I don't give a poo poo. But it pisses me off that a lot of them do so, because they know they can make just as much isk as in null, with almost no risk. If Nullsec income was buffed and people still decided to stay in highsec, I honestly wouldn't give a poo poo.

Technically I'm good with either a nerf to highsec, or a buff to null. I /prefer/ a buff to null because making crap isk in EVE sucks and I don't wish that on anyone, not even highsec pubbies. I also prefer a buff because I hate shooting red crosses (I heard they changed in the last 2 years and are no longer crosses?) and I want to make more isk while spending as little time doing it as possible.

However, I do realise there is such a thing called inflation.

But in the end, something something, 90% of all income going to the top 1/10th of 1%. Eat the rich.
