For example I'm doing space land lvl 4 missions. They drop loot to refine into Minerals, I can use the mins to make t1 ammo then use lp to make them into faction ammo, then I can keep some for me and sell the rest as profit since I did not waste any isk with the missiles (Except the 2m isk to make 5000 t1 into faction)
So am I right?
Its all about how you value your time spent, there are lots of different ideas/opinions on how to make good isk vs have fun doing what you like. Are you looking to add value to your missioning by looting/manufacturing or are you looking to be ammo self sufficent or are you just taking advantage of different gameplay options (ie some industry)? These are separate questions I myself have never been much concerned with the idea of maximizing my profit, its what im doing and who im doing it with that makes the game fun to rme.
A few thoughts on the matter from my perspective:
-Ammo efficiency = Lasers or drones not missiles, however Cost of using even t2 missiles for missions ends up being a fraction of the profitability vs the bounties on missions (especially with BSs to destroy). So meh.
-Blitzing vs full clearing and/or looting, lots of people will turn this into a debate of isk/hr, but its really up to what you like. Money or gameplay, I salvage everything cause I like to, and my OCD doesnt like leaving even tidbits behind >.< It is NOT the best isk/hr by a longshot, if you care.
-Looting for reprocessing = not efficient isk/hr compared to other things but I myself do it all the time, since Kronos reprocessing has taken a huge value hit from what I can tell, solution: Dual or triple box with a Noctis alt. The MTU is only so handy since it tracs 1 wreck at a time and has to lock the next target. faster for the money you make even if its not as much as it used to be. And dont forget that salvage can be used to make rigs for additional profit.
-Trading LP to upgrade missiles or ammo and sell on market (even with keeping a share for yourself) is very isk profitable, as you noted your 2m and 5klp sell for a substantial amount more, no its not the best use for LP but it IS profitable. So far as whats the most profitable see the link in previous post ^
-Isk/hr: Wormholes, risk vs reward is the name of the game, unless incursions are a good option for you. I still made more in WHs (C6 with capital escalations... yummy)
-The 3 month annual SOE arc blows away L4 mission grinding for faction standings boosts.
-Have you considered mining the asteroids in the missions for minerals? Once again its not great isk/hr but will yield much more in minerals especially since some good roids are there sometimes, with no belt competition and the fact that all ores are within a stones-throw of each other in isk/m3/harvest cycle, it could add yet another element to your play and wallet.
Favorite solution: Triple box
