Income from lvl 3 missions will top out at 80mil/hr in a mach. My advice to new battleship pilots now is to run level 3s so they can get to understand how BS work.

Is this advice intended for all types of BS? I ask cause with turret based hulls you can still get them to work against stuff below their weight class by proper piloting, but missile BS are pretty much screwed when it comes to killing (much) smaller targets (ignoring for a second the existence of RHML, but the typical missile system a BS pilot will want to use are CM and torps) when not featuring near perfect application boni (which I can only imagine a new battleship pilot might be light years away from).

Large missiles don't make for good L3 blitzing, true. The travel time is too long, the application is poor, and so on and on.

But a Dominix should do alright.

Raven will match an ishtar in terms of income. The king of lvl 3s however is the autocannon mach.

Most efficient, assuming you're living in the US or Europe and not in Eastern Povertystan:

1. work 4-5 hours IRL/mow a couple of lawns/shovel a few sidewalks for RL money
2. buy a PLEX or eve timecode, sell in Jita or forums
3. wait to skill up

Grinding for peanuts will only burn you out. Find something OTHER than crawling around on your hands and knees to grind for your Eve fun meanwhile. Once you've got a T2 tank + good drone and/or missile skills + a BS that doesn't suck it gets FUN in ye olde missions.

Times have changed. When I got started a Raven was 80M or so, and $15 only brought in 150M.

Today $20 buys nearly a *BILLION* isk. Do the math on how many months it'll take you to earn that at 8M/hour. That $20 buys a Rattlesnake, all the fittings and a couple hundred M to spend on PvP while skilling to fly it.

One last thing I would like to mention: "beermoneyaddicts."
