Missions & Complexes

I collected some metrics over the last couple of weeks on running L5s missions, and I thought some people here might find it interesting so here we go.

How missions are run
* Group of 4x Alts - 3 Domi + 1 Augoror - you can find the fits below
* I don't use ISBoxer so I use drone assist on the Augoror to make the targeting faster/easier
* Each Alt at has greater than 7x faction standing so i can decline missions that can't be blitzed.
* 2 Agents in adjacent system so that I can get 8 missions total in the 4 adjacent system (that's just how the L5s spawn)
* I use an omni tank so I never need to dock after collecting the missions, just run through the 4 systems
* This does not take into account the amount of time it takes to exchange LP and sell on the Market.
* Missions are run as groups of 8 so if you run 3 mission or 12 missions the ISK per hour will drop because you spend more of your time in station/warping
* Some people run missions in Dual Carriers or Dual Marauders (two missions at a time), but I find that much more taxing with less missions/hour completed.
* I have rated the difficulty as Easy/Medium/Hard. All the missions are easy if you are at your computer. That's just a scale of how dangerous the NPCs are if you are distracted by TV/Family/Pets/Dinner/EveForums/Ect . . .

ISK per hour is 1,004 Million using my jita sell prices for LP
ISK per hour is 722 Million using my jita buy prices for LP

Why do that when you can do the same thing with one carrier and an alt in a throw away cyno ship? Hell, after the patch (and if you are insane brave enough lol) you can use 2 scout and just jump your carrier through a gate to the next system if it's empty lol.

*My lvl 5 agent has 2 station systems right next door so when i blitz and only accept bltizable missions in one of those 3 systems, at this point I have a carrier in each system docked up so i just pod on over and go*

There are lots of ways to run L5s. I tried lots of different approaches and I never said this was the best. Its just the best that I have been able to obtain.

Feel free to post your strategies.

Personally I found that the amount of time it took to warp carrier to mission, then back, then fly around in shuttle to get the next mission, then fly back to carrier ended up taking me much longer to complete than if I ran it with Bships.

I also found that because carriers are much easier to scan down and much juicier target, it's harder to run them in hostile territory

I have been running L5s on and off for years now and this fit includes a lot of anti-pirate fittings.
Note the cloak and MWD to get you off gates and the ECCM to make scanning more difficult.

I would say that I loose 1-2 Domis per year to pirates and that it affects my mission running 1 out of every 20 "sessions".

I know if I am being actively hunted. In that case I stick to missions that can be completed in less than 3 minutes.

As far as attracting attention, T1 ships aren't what dedicated pirates are hunting for (and someone who isn't dedicated isn't going to catch me). T1 ships that the pirate knows are going to complete the mission or warp away before they can get a lock on are even less appealing.

Note: when i was flying Carriers, Marauders, or Faction Bships I got a lot more attention. That's a big part of the reason I fly the domis.

Edit
You can decrease the ISK per hour by 2.5% due to disruptions and subtract 2 million per hour to account for losses to player pirates. You could also subtract another 10 million per hour to losses due to "distractions"

rightly so.

mjd ravens can do it.

ishtar with basi combo can do most of them.

I like ishtar basi myself as you can just add more ishtars to it for faster times.
