I believe they are adding bounties for them the 24th of this month so maybe it will be worth it to now actually complete silence the informant for instance. *other than blitzing of course*

Considering the prices of minerals have doubled in the last month they're actually probably worth more than any other mission you're running right now if you bothered to loot and reprocess.

Its a good consideration to do that but if you have a single character it could double or triple mission time. Depending of course

Bookmark a wreck in each room. Run missions for an hour then get a Noctis and go from one bookmark to the next salvaging everything.

Yeah if you're running a single toon it probably barely breaks even. I run missions every now and then for something easy to do (mostly WHs/Plexing) but I have 2 toons for it. Svo crushes the missions, alt scoops all the loot and salvages; probably doubles the money.

Or use a marauder and loot/salvage most of the wrecks while you go = vast majority of loot/salvage for zero time (or close to).

Drone missions are worth doing now if you're smart enough to stockpile mineral reserves and time your post Escalation sales.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

This. Drone missions are #1 priority right now. The only mission I'll do before drone missions is WC. With mineral prices continuing to rise, and probably exploding within the first couple weeks of Inferno, that drone poo is extremely valuable.
