~100M per hour in bounties.

+ ~ 500M-1B every few hours if you are using an ESS

+ ~ 50m per hour in standard loot (much more if you get an officer mod)

If you are a hardcore ratter you could probably PLEX your account twice over in a week with little effort.

I make a decent bit of isk ratting in nullsec, mate. I can now run a sanctum solo in about 15 minutes including clean up time... using mtu and a noctis with 6 salvagers. Im just dual boxing. if I tripple box i can run them in about ten minutes, but cant clean up till after the mtu catches up. :)

And Im making decent isk, so lets define what that is for me atm... about 100 mil an hour is okay. anything above that is pretty rad and has my attention. Soon it will be no longer this low as Im taking it up a notch into wh space once again. Actually, it was in wh space I learned the tactics and strategies Im using in null sec. lol. :)

all you need is a carrier, and a battleship or two if you can... :) with a set of nine fighters and two battleships you can take the sites pretty quickly. that is my only concern. you can even drop a pair of dreads to quickly kill the battleships if you have that kinds of iskies and skills or alts and or players/friends to help you. just bring a tripple webbing loki or rapier for the dreads.

Dude... if you're dropping dreads into some random Sanctum, you don't need to be ratting at all. There is nothing compelling about ratting. It's not exciting or challenging. It's the means to an end... that end being ISK. Besides, ratting is not even the most efficient way of generating ISK in null. Thus, once again, if you're at the point where you're rolling a subcap, but you're amazingly still trying to grind ISK... ratting is not the way to do it.

I've read some really good advice here and some really pointless advice also. The original question was posted by a new player so offering answers that even use the word carrier are simply pointless.


Now, the Gnosis has bonuses to scan probes and a good basic Omni tank. It gets bonuses to every type weapon system. Fit it for exploration, carry a Mobil depot with a few extra modules and find the first wormhole you can and away you go. You can make a good basic income running all the sites and will most likely get a little PvP experience also.

Other than that, you can grind missions, but even with lvl 4's the income is not great unless you take the time to salvage and sell off the dropped loot. You could probably do better fitting your retriever for ice mining and dodging the CODE pukes or ninja gas mining in wormholes.

Given that this thread is about ratting in null, not sure why we're discussing WH's and missions.
