What percentage of NPC missions are non-combat

eve-online

I'm a pretty new player, and so far I've done the basic tutorial, the industry tutorial missions, and some of the exploration tutorial missions. Obviously I've focused on the non-combat side of the game, including skills.

However, when I went through several nearby systems, I wasn't able to find a single mission that didn't involve combat with pirates. I expected to find some 'build thing X' or 'deliver thing Y', like in the tutorial missions.

Should I just start gearing up a combat ship, or are there lots of these crafting/delivery/etc missions out there and I'm just unlucky or looking in the wrong places?

The latest patch has changed this significantly. There are now only three divisions:
Security - All combat missions.
Distribution - All courier missions.
Astrogeology - All mining missions.
