Missions & Complexes

Its not as good as burners at the moment. But sticking to purely blitzable l4's and declining the rest, its still around the 100m+ an hour mark if you have a good conversion and have the practice blitzing. Burners are just so good especially if you can fly a DD, you can do 4 of 5 in the same rig fitted DD.

Good blitzing missions

Stop the Thief
Cargo Delivery
Recon 1 and 2 since you can do them in a mwd frig and they're always home system
Pirate invasion isn't too bad if you can pop the correct group, it pays well at least
Attack of the Drones, know the correct chain
Right hand of Zazz
Dread Pirate Scarlet once you have the keys they always work just mwd to the gates and shoot her in the last pocket and then leave
The Assault

and others theres a few intercept style ones that arent too bad.

You'll want a good blitzing ship, I've always had a thing for machariels focus on killing speed and have an mwd, you dont have to go all out with tank since you're usually leaving anyways.
Know your triggers know when to align out to save a few seconds here and there, know which frigs can be an issue and plan accordingly, the nice thing about the mach is if you're concerned with a frig spawn you can pretty much pop them in 1-2 rounds on approach anyways.


Decline missions that have you full clear pockets and whatnot if oyu have the faction standings then honestly the rate that you'll get storylines will generally compensate or bring its spiral down to a crawl. Dont get to -2.0 with the agent though or its annoying to deal with unless you can train a diplomacy level.

Edit: Try to missin in .5 if you want to stay in HS rewards are better, and dont forget to train lp skill.

This. Opportunity cost and "what ELSE could you be doing in those 4 minutes and 24 seconds you looted in?" is basically horse-sh!t unless you're more into grinding gold in a game than having fun.

Rattlesnake, Macherial, Vargur, Kronos, and Vindicator can all cut through missions like Buzz Kill, Damsel in Distress, Gone Berserk, Rogue Slave Trader, and Mordus Headhunters like butter. Declining them is crazy in my opinion. If I can do a mission in 15 minutes or less, then it is a go.

Good list. How do you blitz assault.

I do Recon 3 in the same MWDing frig i do 1 and 2 in.

I just blap the correct station, ignore the spawns, kill the web frigs and anything that poitns me, grab the girl and go while giving her a stern talking to about always getting imprisoned in that same station lol.

And Gone Berserk is super easy to blitz too, it's like only 6-7 ships total to kill. My mission ship set up now is : Blitzing Mach, Blitzing Tengu and daredevil (with my alt that can fly a jamming/FoF missions ASB Griffin for burner missions) and the income is INSANE lol.

I've never come close to getting any of my agents close to -2 with an agent, as so many missions offered to me are bltizable or near blitzable I only really decline the worst of the 'slog through' missions.

Well, it's only taken me 7 years to find this out...

I do gone berzerk as well. I might try the tengu on damsel but especially in lanngisi I've been prioritizing burners and only use my list when standings slip too much.

lanngissi has a bad habit of making quite quite a few missions a 2 jump ordeal which hurts the monies a lot so I'm actually really picky and avoid non burners that are 2j out. Though being able to dump to hek makes me lazy and haven't bothered to ship out to apan.

some times I get lucky though and get 13 burners down in an hour with a bunch being angels and get pumped over a 400m hour.

This is an example of logic that just drives me crazy.

Loot has a value. You can either sell the item in the market and get ISK, or you can reprocess the item and get minerals. Those minerals have a value in ISK, that can be sold on the market as well. Quite often, you get more than the reprocessed value of the item by selling it on the market.

Making your own missiles is not free, even if you use reprocessed modules to get the minerals.

Buying missiles someone else made is simply trading 1 asset for another. You trade ISK for missiles.

Making your own missiles from reprocessed modules is simply trading 1 asset for another. You trade reprocessed modules and manufacturing slot time for missiles.

If you use that slot to make T1 missiles that saves you 100k an hour from buying the missiles off the market, and forego using that slot to make something else that nets you 500k per hour in profit, you are costing yourself 400k an hour. There are other considerations that are not taken into account - such as the time determining if a module is best sold or reprocessed, time to buy and transport missiles, time determining what will generate 500k an hour, etc.

You may or may not be better off by making your own missiles. Claiming they are free, regardless of changes in your wallet, is foolish.

Its all about how you value your time spent, there are lots of different ideas/opinions on how to make good isk vs have fun doing what you like. Are you looking to add value to your missioning by looting/manufacturing or are you looking to be ammo self sufficent or are you just taking advantage of different gameplay options (ie some industry)? These are separate questions I myself have never been much concerned with the idea of maximizing my profit, its what im doing and who im doing it with that makes the game fun to rme.

A few thoughts on the matter from my perspective:

-Ammo efficiency = Lasers or drones not missiles, however Cost of using even t2 missiles for missions ends up being a fraction of the profitability vs the bounties on missions (especially with BSs to destroy). So meh.

-Blitzing vs full clearing and/or looting, lots of people will turn this into a debate of isk/hr, but its really up to what you like. Money or gameplay, I salvage everything cause I like to, and my OCD doesnt like leaving even tidbits behind >.<
It is NOT the best isk/hr by a longshot, if you care.

-Looting for reprocessing = not efficient isk/hr compared to other things but I myself do it all the time, since Kronos reprocessing has taken a huge value hit from what I can tell, solution: Dual or triple box with a Noctis alt. The MTU is only so handy since it tracs 1 wreck at a time and has to lock the next target. faster for the money you make even if its not as much as it used to be. And dont forget that salvage can be used to make rigs for additional profit.

-Trading LP to upgrade missiles or ammo and sell on market (even with keeping a share for yourself) is very isk profitable, as you noted your 2m and 5klp sell for a substantial amount more, no its not the best use for LP but it IS profitable. So far as whats the most profitable see the link in previous post ^

-Isk/hr: Wormholes, risk vs reward is the name of the game, unless incursions are a good option for you. I still made more in WHs (C6 with capital escalations... yummy)

-The 3 month annual SOE arc blows away L4 mission grinding for faction standings boosts.

-Have you considered mining the asteroids in the missions for minerals? Once again its not great isk/hr but will yield much more in minerals especially since some good roids are there sometimes, with no belt competition and the fact that all ores are within a stones-throw of each other in isk/m3/harvest cycle, it could add yet another element to your play and wallet.


Favorite solution: Triple box

^ thats a lot of reply... sorry

ermmm
