Hello guys.

I'm here asking opinions from you guys EVE elites on the best combo option for isk with 2 accounts that i have.
Account A with 2 chars. Char 1 Mission, and char 2 salvage
Account B with 2 chars. Char 1 mission, and char 2 mining in hulk (can do manufacturing too)

Both mission chars fly tengu and do L4

first combo. Mission L4 and the other account salvage
2nd combo. Mission L4 and the other account mining in hulk
3rd combo. Both doing L4

3. the more dps the less selfrep from rats, so quicker missioning.

I believe having both chars running missions will be the most ISK.

Personally when I do mission I choose option one because else I let all those wrecks go to waste and that's just a shame. And every once in a while my wallet gets a big boost from selling/reprocessing all that loot and salvage or I get a load of 'free' materials.
I only loot/salvage lvl 4 missions and rarely lvl 3.

Its not free:

(((lost mission time)+(ammo cost))-fun) = salvage cost

A theory that I've been experimenting with is dual-toon mssioning with one Uber DPS (I use a T2 Megathron loadout with one Large Energy Transfer Array II) and one Basilisk logistic with five light combat drones. Total cost is around 400M ISK for a pair of ships that does Angels Extravaganza in an hour excluding the bonus room, and which can easily tank the bonus room. Spare shield repping can be used to keep drones alive, too.

If you have a third toon, you can salvage under fire with a Noctis as well (repped by the Basi as required), which usually adds no extra time and has the great advantage of making ninjas unhappy. For extra win, fit the Noctis with Remote Armor and Hull reps to fettle damaged drones, and a webber to help deal with zippy drones and frigs.

This approach is of course very similar to the normal way that shield-tanked Incursion fleets are run, just scaled down. The combo works well except in missions like Worlds Collide Guristas room where your DPS ship gets jammed. That breaks the cap chain and gets very sad very fast.

With new toons, it will take you four or five months to train to the point where this works well. But at that point, you also have a logi pilot who can run Incursions very usefully.
