I have less time now that I'm out of school and starting my job.

I still like to play at night when I'm relaxing and until i get used to my schedule I prefer to play shorter periods of time without making abysmal isk.

I have done C5 WH, Nullsec isk ratting (kind of burnt those bridges).

Looking for something thats easier logistically and less prep time.

I was originally deciding between LVL 5 missions in a carrier and High-sec Incursions?

But now my buddy are trying to figure out whats better for not having as much time as we used to.


- Burner Missions
- Incursions (high sec - maybe low)
- Lvl 5 missions
- Factional warfare
- Lowend WH's now with the new citadels


Suggestions/Isk per hour...

Easy logistically speaking would be nice.

The comments below are made from personal experience deal with some of the areas and playing with others who have done the rest. Based on your other statements, you are probably looking at burner missions as your best option for literally no worries play.

- Burner Missions

Pros:
You can stay in one station/area.
You can play for short periods of time
This also includes blitzing specific lv4 missions

Cons:
Can take a while to get multiple alts standings up to get several alts to pull missions. This lets you decline more missions easier.
Need several fairly well blinged ships for different missions

- Incursions (high sec - maybe low) (Let's face it, you are not going to do low sec incursions with limited play time and unless you know someone, you probably aren't getting into those groups. Therefore, we will stay with high sec)

Pros:
Very good isk per hour
Most of the groups have experienced players who know what the heck they are doing
Fairly flexible LP

Cons:
Incursion comms can be some of the worst out there.
Spawns move, so you may log in and have to jump 20+ gates to get to where they are running.
You sometimes have to wait for fleet invite - Hard when you only have limited play time
You need a specific fit that is pricey.
You need the skills to fly the ship how the FC wants


- Lvl 5 missions

Pros:
See pros for burner missions

Cons:
See cons for burner missions
You are in a capital in low sec. People will hunt you.
LP conversion can be a pain.

- Factional warfare

Pros:
Easy to get into
Missions can be done fairly cheaply (not necessarily a bomber anymore, but still cheaply)
Can stop and go as you please
Can make good money/LP

Cons:
If you are using your main, you will trash your standings with one/two empires
If using your main, you will be in constant war even in high sec.
LP conversion can be a pain and swings wildly at times.

- Lowend WH's now with the new citadels

Pros:
You have been in a C5, so the same pros here but for less isk.

Cons:
Again, same as a C5 but with cheaper ships

Welcome to the real world where things like jobs will have a drastic impact on your EvE experience.
My suggestion would be to basically treat this in the same way you did when you first started to play EvE. Explore around, experiment with the various options and see which one / which ones give you the most enjoyment.

ISK is highly overrated especially in these forums where the viability of anything and everything seems to be measured by ISK / LP per hour instead of fun per hour. If you are having fun and have enough ISK to do what you want then you have all the ISK you need, spending time to acquire more ISK is simply wasting time that could be better spent having fun. If making ISK simply to make ISK is what you consider fun then ignore this paragraph.

A viable answer for you highly depends on how much ISK you need for what, and how much time you want to spend on ISK vs. fun ... all the mentioned activities need 2h minimum per stint to be worth doing. More passive income types are PI and manufacturing, though the latter needs some market play.

find a c2 wormhole with a c3 static, farm c3 sites for easy 200m/hour

yes you will die but probably not before you've made the isk you used to make the ship back

DMCONE said "I have less time now that I'm out of school and starting my job."

That's funny, because it seems I have less time now to play EVE since I've retired

Always remember Tovil-Toba, and what was done there.
