So I have a Paladin w/ T2 Tachs, IN Multi, Standard and Aurora and 3 IN Heat Sinks, but I can never seem to get over a 10m bounty tick. Rarely will I get over 10m. Just ran Pirate Invasion then when straight to another Mish (I have 2 agents in the same station so I grab 2 missions at a time) and got 9.7m tick. I have maxed dmg skills and 2 TC's, I can get 899 DPS w/ Multi. I'm in Sansha space and get mostly Sansha/Bloods.

Is it just me or can I get higher ticks then that and I'm just doing something wrong.

Most missions don't have more than 10 mil total bounty. By the time you dock up and get to new mission site, it's already past one tick. Aside from smaller rats, that's the difference between lvl4s and sanctums.

So then I'm doing pretty good for L4's in empire then? TBH I expected a litle more ISKies but whatever, I'm not really strapped for cash right now

10 mil ticks are pretty much normal, on good missions. It's much less if rats are merc, and zero for drone/faction. Those people pulling lvl4 numbers out of their ass and claiming lvl4s need nerfing because of it are just trolling. Don't get unrealistic expectations from it.

About the best you will get (excluding anything like faction spawns) will be something like Blockade that can break 20mil if you do it in a single tick. Things like AE bonus should cause you to breka 10 mil no problem, and the new Dread Pirate Scarlet should give you multiple ticks > 10 mil.

Best tick I've had from 4s is little under 20 mil.
I think recon 1 when not blitzed gives you a mil a minute(15 mins 15 millions) since there's so many high bounty BS's in there.
However my experience is a little one sided - I mostly shoot at serpentis and they do tend to dampen you to about 10 km effective targeting range - I'm sure missions where you're mostly tracking disrupted or target painted wouldn't be as slow. Of course my mach does 1500m/s so getting into the 10km range isn't a problem.

I think the best high sec steady income is from a good incursion fleet - I've seen wallets posted with 10.5 mil income every 4 mins(which would make the ticks into 40-50mil, if they were coming as a lump sum every 20 mins) . The downside is that unless you got a steady group of friends that you regularly fleet with you might spend a lot of time trolling for a fleet.

Yeah thats OK.

My record is 9/10ths of a wormhole, that was 18.5 mil.

But other than that I have got 15 one time, and never above 13 besides those 2.

10 is pretty good and maybe 7 is average when you factor in some of the less 'bounty-full" missions.

As far as incursions go the income is off the hook. I don't run them but i saw one of my guys tax ticks and he made 800 mil in one day.

I would shoot myself in the eye with a staple-gun if I had to run that many missions.
