Missions & Complexes

Without null sec corp you are just dead meat.

Tricky question.

If you in null, people run anomalies, and I hear they make good isk.

On the other hand, logistics is not a problem per say, but it is a serious issue. Add to that pvp. The corp/alliance goes to war, and your pve game time suddenly becomes heavily curtailed.

I guess the best is to start second account, train it up some and move it into null corp, get some hands on experience without risking your high sec account.

The raw ISKyou can get out of null anomalies in sovereign space can dwarf the rewards from mission running, but in exchange, the politics of null can potentiall eat you alive, you're not able to play the game the way you want to any more, and that income source could get taken away from you at any time for practically any reason, ranging from someone with a supercap fleet wanting you gone, to your alliance CEO getting into a mood and ordering you to stop ratting on pain of getting kicked and losing access to any docks and hangars within two dozen jumps.

Barring efforts by certain parties to nerf hi-sec to oblivion, hi-sec mission running will remain available regardless of whether you're in good favor with one player corp or another.

I don't know, I killed BS in missions and in null, to me they felt similar but I must admit I never went up against an officer rat.

Nah, a haven loads the top 3 battleship types alll the time. Missions load all sorts. A Core Lord Admiral doesn't take twice as long as a Core Baron to kill, but loads more than 3x the bounty, and there aren't gates in the anom, so you can just kill as soon as you finish the previous trigger. I think forlorn hubs were actually preferred as they used to be BC/BS only and smaller less tank intensive spawns but I believe that might have been patched to reduce bounties by adding frigates.

I occasionally do the lowsec forlorns/forsakens and to be honest, they would be in my top 10 if they were missions - they are very different from the base lowsec anoms.

The correct answer is wormholes. 3 accounts can clear close to 500m an hour easy.

PS. Not for the risk averse.

My corp live out in null sec and I personally think that the ISK from running anoms and sigs is much much greater than missioning, although I'll admit I've not done missions in a very long time.

Sigs can be quite hard and may need 3 or 4 people with logi to complete so if you wanted to do those you would need to work with your corp mates

certain anoms can be run solo but bear in mind that rats in null warp scram, web etc, if you caught in that and a bunch of reds come in system you could die in a fire.

I think that the loot is worth more from salvaging the wrecks too.

Depends where in null you are going to be you may have issues getting the loot/salvage out of null and to market (if that is what you do with it) so you will need a corp. mate to jump freighter it out if you do not have that ability yourself.

Depending on your corp you may find that they get cloaky camped a lot and that means no PVE, also of course reds can come in you system which means you have to safe up.

I've never run the actual numbers but I think you would beat 120m per hour in null, there is a guy in our corp that makes 2b a month mining, I think that ratting is more lucrative than mining.

Not all null sec systems give officer drops btw

not only do you not compare this to what you can make doing the other activity, you don't even say what you're making 60 mil and hour doing.....

Nullsec anomalies should provide higher ISK/hour - if you find a system where you can chain-run them. Unlike missions, there is a cap on how many anomalies are active at any given time.
