Just returned to the game after nearly 3 years out of the game, whats the best way to make isk now ?
I heard PI was good ?
Are incursions still profitable ?
L4 Missions ?
0.0 Ratting ?

Any help would be great

I guess it depends on what you like. I mean technically you could make a ton of isk if you just stared at your computer and updated market orders every five minutes for hours, but... very few people can stomach such a thing.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

According to some, you can now make 200+m isk per hour with level 4s.

I returned to the game just a few days ago after about a year off. So I've been hisec mining in Tash-Murkon and working up my production skills.

I never had the patience for much PI, although I do work a few planets. I don't really understand it, so I don't make any real ISK.

My advice is to spend the time learning how to pull as much ISK out of your efforts as possible. I read as much as I can stomach on the topic starting with the basics at Wiki Eve Mining 101 and then explore at Eve Eye Maps.

I came back with a new attitude to the game. I'll never be a PVPer, and I'm not that good in a group, so I can now be a miner without worrying that I'm missing something. And I'll do AI ratting and salvage in 0.5 and 0.6 without too much concern in my destroyer.

As always, your mileage may vary, but I like my eve relaxing and unstressed.

PI is passive income, but start off small as many people find it tedious - especially if you setup a high maintenance operation.
incursions are very profitable if you can dedicate blocks of time. If you just have an hour at a time it may not be worth it.
L4 missions in a Machariel is very profitable.
Market trading is best isk if you enjoy it.
Industry can be profitable IF you have good market understanding.
Null ratting can be very profitable.
Null/WH exploration can be quite profitable - hi-sec not, low-sec maybe if you mix in combat exploration.
FW will earn enough isk to pvp.

Welcome back to Eve.

You might want to check out L4 mining missions if you like semi-afk mining. Your isk yield will go up if you can find someone to give you an orca boost.
