So I know there are already tons of topic about this, but I just don't know what is and what is not up to date.

So I got a question :

Is it still true that you can solo blitz FW missions with only 1 stealth bomber ?

Solo, I think only Amarr can do this now with a bling AB and some nice speed implants. Even without, but make sure you get moving as soon as you see digits on your speed, before the TP's light you up.

Minmatar and Caldari now have webbing frigs to worry about. Galmil was never able to do them in a SB. Missiles and jamms op.

Yes. If you are Caldari doing the missions the frigates will now scram and web you. Webbing at about 30-40km, if you go faster then 1500 you can kite them, but will probably have to use JAVs to be safe. Level 3's are easy - 2-4 volleys on a commander and get out.

Industrial missions are pain in the ass. No idea about missions for the other groups, alternatively you could use something like a stratios (maybe).

Otherwise just get out there and plex man.

And let's say I'm Gallente FW, if I get an Ishtard is it soloable ?

Yes, but If it is an Ishtard you will lose it to players eventually. The more 'tarded the sooner. Even a VNI can solo them, given time, but time in Black Rise is more like a countdown. gl

People cite amazing isk/hour from FW missions. They fail to factor in the many hours it takes to actually bring the LP to market.

I use prorator for modules. But once the market for modules is crashed i start to ship hulls in the ark. The ark doesnt hold many hulls but its got good gtfo if someone decides to start bumping you on the trip to jita :p

But then you have to wait for cool downs etc. Forget about that and suddenly you get yourself an extended wait for the next jump lol.

A step above the rest, I see. Was always your style.

Still, I smile on my humble Occator. 'Well done pig.' ::nod::

Atm I just change my LP in a high sec station and Red Frog Comets to Jita.

Also, some people told me mission were 200+M ISK / hour, solo, when running incursions requires an expensive battleship, min. 10 mates and a FC to get 120M / hour.

fw missions use to be one of the better ways to get isk solo

incursions are good but not solo, you need a fleet and then you have to stand by for a fleet invite.

A lot of people just dont like working in a fleet all the time and used fw missions to cool off form the fleet aspects.

now there is not a lot of good ways to make solo isk

LP logistics is easy. Have a jump clone in a FW station in hisec, jump there, cash out LP for mods/hulls/whatever, trade to Industrial alt. Industrial alt takes them to market.
