Missions & Complexes

Erm, I just do recon in a frigate with an mwd.

I see many people are trying to measure their average ISK per hour.
Here are my last 250 completed missions. (in alphabetical order for easier reading)
I can do this more or less indefinitely.
I have done between 300 and 500 missions since I had to fix my agent standings.
Fixing agent standings takes 5min a day and 5 days max to fix (usually between 2 to 3).
Mission running is done with single character. No alts are used even when fixing standings.

Also I did measure theoretical isk per hour in 14 one hour sessions ( session lasted between 59min and 63min ) last month.
how is it calculated?
ISK at the end -ISK at the start + 1.6mil per 1k LP
+loot -any costs and fees ( loot calculation and any other costs and fees not included below. That is why numbers are bit lower when just calculating LP + ISK)

327mil per hour ( 117874LP + 128mil ) ISK
333mil per hour ( 139874LP + 122mil ) ISK
318mil per hour ( 114751LP + 119mil ) ISK
313mil per hour ( 129390LP + 102mil ) ISK
311mil per hour ( 121504LP + 120mil ) ISK
342mil per hour ( 148324LP + 108mil ) ISK
351mil per hour ( 138908LP + 144mil ) ISK
336mil per hour ( 90785LP + 79mil ) ISK + 110mil implant (storyline mission)
268mil per hour ( 115186LP + 77mil ) ISK (server lag and 1 socket close) also 1 burner mission (4 jumps away) because of lower than usual agent standings)
323mil per hour ( 138952LP + 93mil ) ISK
305mil per hour ( 113607LP + 127mil ) ISK
353mil per hour ( 149222LP + 118mil ) ISK
314mil per hour ( 128612LP + 97mil ) ISK
320mil per hour ( 131057LP + 125mil ) ISK

average 322mil per hour

Loot, ammo cost, lost drones and repair costs are included.
Courier cost and any fees when selling items is also included.

Not included is time to:
1.) Research what item is best when converting.
2.) Accquiring required items to convert LP. (I am also buying ammo, cap booster and drones when doing this)
3.) Converting items in LP store.
4.) Transporting items to market hub.
5.) Selling items in market hub.

Now to measuring true isk per hour
1.) takes 2minutes max. ( using website http://evefight.com )
2.) takes 5minutes max. ( includes setting up courier using market hub alt )
3.) takes 3minutes max.
4.) takes 5minutes max. ( private contract to alt, then alt makes courier contract )
5.) also 5minutes max. ( using buy orders cannot be bothered to babysit sell orders )

Now I usually do this for every 1mil LP
Accquiring 1mil LP takes around 8hours.
so 20 minutes for every 8 hours running missions.
average was 322mil per hour
322mil x 8 ( 480min ) =2576mil
2576mil / 500min = 5,152mil
5,512 x 480 = 2472.96mil
2472.96 / 8 = 309,12 mil per hour
True isk per hour is 309,12mil.

But you are using alt character for moving, selling items, buying requried items for mission running!
Well it is on the same account created some time ago with near minimal skills.

Conclusion:
With highly skilled characters, Ascendancy implants and optimised ship setups
it is possible to earn near or above 300mil isk per hour in high sec with single account.

if the burner mission pays out 14k LP then it is 10 burner missions, and as they average ~6mins that is doable. with burner bases I'd say it is on the high side of average, but burner bases pay out more in isk, so you make up for it there.

my stats are a little worse, but that is because
1. I run in a higher sec status system so less LP payout, and I think slightly less payout/reward
2. I cheap out on a few ship fits so I lose a minute or two here and there.

200, 250, 300, eh what's the difference, I've run out of things to care about making a little bit of isk.

I wouldn't have believed it before but it's certainly possible. I run more of the normal mission even though they're around half the income / min of burners and isn't strictly nessesary and my skills are far from optimal. My ship fits aren't all max blinged out either so some burners take a bit longer than necessary. Because of the high rep speed and relative low total HP of burners compared to normal Lv4 missions people are used to, a small increase in dps can actually have a pretty sizable impact on speed to kill.

What implants apart form ascendancies are you using? Interested to see what your're boosting. My guess would be rockets? Or do you use light missiles for the team burners?

Also the blood burner is currently my biggest pita. Using a cap injected armor wolf?

Blood burner is easy in a passive Jag.

Just keep your web on him as much as possible between neut cycles. Goes down like a bag of Jenn's

Not bad, I wondered if that would get your attention.

For every Ying, there is a Yang :)

Check again. Against the Burner you have over 220 ehp/s and the Burner only does 179dps...

If you lost it, you had something offline You can tank forever until DT if you forget ammo or something.

given how shiny some of the burner fits can get a little opsec isn't a bad idea. not giving away their active times isn't a bad idea.

here's one from me http://i.imgur.com/GuIbxNm.png

(just in case anyone wants to tell me blitzing is unsustainable standings wise, although I did gone berserk on 10.5, 9.17, 9.15 and cba to go back more from there)

it goes back a while as I haven't really been running anywhere near consistently lately. I can't say if any inefficiencies were caused by controllable distractions (ie forum posting, **** breaks, refilling the drink, other breaks, updating buy/sell orders), piloting mistakes (ie burn out guns, mess up transversal, activate the mods in the wrong order, or forget timely heat), or dumb luck (ie not getting a successful ECM jam, although over time that will average out)

in a number of cases I cheap out on ships/fittings, so some time could be made up there, and as I said I use ECM ships on most team burners, which are a bit variable in completion times. According to eve-search I had 23 forum posts on 9.25, I'd say that is a decent level of distractions.

I believe over 300 is doable, but requires specific things. over 200 should be pretty widely reproducible. and 180ish should be doable almost anywhere.

I think it is reasonably fair to simplify burners into 30mil blocks. Breaking it down into 5mil bounty, 5mil in reward+bonus, 20mil in LP I'd say it is about fair or perhaps slightly under current LP rewards and trade values. so to hit 300mil/hour that requires 10 missions, or a 6min average. If I drop down to a 7m completion time that is ~8.5/hour, or 255mil/hour.

Ran two today. First one was stable at just under 50% and the second was closer to 33%

I was having real bad luck with timing my web on the second one so it was taking longer than usual.

Those are far more accurate numbers to what many have reported. Like it was said before, and like I posted on post #3, 7.6 is the average Jori was getting. 8 seems to be a good number to use for a highly skilled and well seasoned mission vet.

Assuming all goes well and you get lucky 9 would be the max I could ever accept as average.

But 10, of the perfect quality burners that give the 14k lp dumps... no way, not that consistently. Hiding the hours on the screenshot confirmed my suspicions. Hell I ran Burners all day today, was quite fun... but not once did I get one within 5 jumps of my agent. I was averaging 10 minutes a damn mission.
