I have tried doing these skimmer missions tonight and every single time i have to deal with npc ships. Every vid i see that peeps have done they never have npc ships. Even tried doing 1 of those war scan missions got nuked by a viper in my srv then he nuked my ship before i could get of the ground. Am I missing something?
Horizons Can someone please explain why even low-sec bases have npc's garding them?

If there is a security ship on the ground or a pad then it is there to guard the base. You will normally only see these for +++ bases. If you still want to attack the base you will have to deal with the ship first (sometimes more than one, but I rarely find that). If you bus the base before landing and take a shot at the ship on the pad then boos away to get out of range of the turrets, the security ship will follow you. You can then take it out before landing to launch your srv.
If there is a security ship just flying about, then it is just there by coincidence. Fly around for a bit and it will eventually leave the planet and you can get on with attacking the base in peace

Thx mate that was why i asked the bases were only + and ++. I took in sidewinders like i saw on all the vids but was useless. I did see the patrol types that were flying around and yes they left and i was able to do that 1 but all the rest had parked ships.
Cool thx Oldric i will try that. I was just so confussed cause of what i watched everyone doing on the vids, then what i was seeing doing it myself were 2 totally different things.
