As I mentioned prior, the COSMOS missions can be done in the Okkelen Constellation just down spinward of us. Details here: COSMOS Info
I've run a few, and here are some details I've learned:
1.) A lot of it can be done in a T2 Frigate or a T1 Cruiser. I've been doing them like cake in a well fitted Caracal.
2.) I've read the most you need for some is a Battlecruiser or a buddy. A lot of the sites do have gates that won't accept anything Battleship size or greater and some limit Battlecruisers. So be advised.
3.) The systems range from 0.7 down to 0.4 space. So far I've done a few in 0.6 and they never took me into lower security than what I was in.
4.) The missions usually ask you to collect a certain amount of something. These are at sites open to all and can be farmed. I noticed that the respawn is quick too (I estimate 10 minutes at the most). These items can be picked up regardless of whether you have the mission or not, so you can go kill a bunch and get bounties and collect all the stuff you might need. To be clear: the unique items that a lot of the missions ask for are NOT tied to having the quests, so if you're just their farming for items/bounties, you'll collect a lot of items for future quests. Hold on to those. They'are also tradable! I'm keeping all the extras of things for anyone else who may need them. Other people also put them up on contracts for sale if you're lazy and have the ISK. You can't trade most of them on the market.
5.) The easiest way to get into Okkelen Constellation is a 4-jump from HQ. It does however traverse Otsela and Ihakana which are both 0.4. So, what I did, is traverse there in the ship I was going to do them in coupled with a shuttle in my bay (this is the most dangerous part). I picked a base of operations I would use, and then left the ship and took a shuttle back. So I can easily hop over and back with little fear. Failing that, you can also take the long way around which is 13 jumps through all High Security. In a fairly fast ship, this would be quick.
6.) These missions are only doable once each and give an awesome Caldari Standing boost. DO NOT decline one if you ask for it as you won't get offered it again. That also means DON'T fail it.
7.) Since these are open sites, the can get semi-crowded at peak hours. Also, this means that the Low-sec sites are open for people to roll in and dunk you.
Hope this info helps!
