While at the same time I made 500 Mil yesterday ratting Havens and Sanctums using PROPER fighter mechanic technique while only losing one fighter due to the fact that I had a coffee cup in hand when the BS targeted.

Adapt or contract your carriers to me.

Actually hisec has incursions which are arguably higher isk/hour with no risk even before the fighters nerf, I'm currently considering that as a viable alternative to carrier/super ratting

L4 low profit per hour

Incursions - risk of being killed + long waiting time in queue and or for fleet and even then its about 50% less per hour than a carrier

Oh noes.

No more carrier afk.

Meanwhile Drone ships are still laughing at NPC EWAR for a decade.

I don't understand why this keeps getting thrown around, AFK ratting in carriers was killed like a year and a half ago. they cant attack without commands. I don't know where you people keep getting this from.

I don't even own a carrier. Hell I don't even have the skills to sit in one. And I somehow still make plenty of isk. Clearly I'm doing something wrong since apparently carrier ratting is the only way to go.

What? The ship(s) were working the way I wanted it too. CCP nerfed rorq's so bad that the ore enoms are vanishing since no one is mining any more. The fighter nerf is so bad it's also brought ratting to a slow trickle while everybody skills up for ishtars.

CCP did such a good job at nerfing they've had to lock the feedback threads! Not sure what business model CCP is using, but pissing off your customer base to this extreme is certainly a model I haven't seen used before!

I make 150-180m/h carrier ratting post patch (bounties alone)
about 150m/h with high sec incursions.
And you say no risk but there is always risk.
