So I haven't played in 3 years, I am sitting on 18m SP mostly in drones/gunnery/SC with gallente focus and minmitar off focus.
I recently reactivated my account after a very long time to find myself in an NPC corp, which is probably for the best given my newbness to the game since returning. Let me walk you through how I make money and the PvP I like.
1) I do level 4's in a domi for money. I have a raven trained alt with about 10m SP but I can't afford to keep 2 accounts running and until I get a feel for the game and find myself playing more I doubt I would reactivate it for money. I currently have enough money and can run level 4's almost AFK so that isn't an issue overall but lvl 4 money is slow
2) I really only want to fly cruiser/BC sized ships in PvP right now, I am ideally wanting to fly blaster ships (thorax/brutix) But honestly since my return I am finding myself leaning towards wanting to fly a rupture/stabber and MAYBE a hurricane but honestly I want to kind of focus on cruiser hulls for at least a month or two.
So you can see these two things present a problem. I can't join a lowsec corp because I can't jump to mission (i mission in a 0.5 and decline lowsec missions) and I can't really join a nullsec corp/alliance because if we are at war then I end up unable to mission and thus unable to make money (and to be honest I enjoy missioning and spacing out for a few hours here and there).
So I am not really sure where to go from here, does anyone have some suggestions? keep in mind I only want to fly cruiser hulls and interceptors right now, possibly interdictors at some point but eh. |

 Factional Warfare - that combines both pew-pew pvp and isk making.
Lowsec ratting and anomalies in pvp fitted ships
Lowsec exploration - train your alt for scanning ( T1 scanning frig is good for starters but you would like to train covops frig eventually ). Get your main character into Ishtar ( pefect in Serpentis/Guristas space ). You can do it on one account even ( just train scanning on your Ishtar character and fit probe launcher )

Factional warfare is the one I am the most interested in without actually doing much reading. How profitable is exploration compared to lvl 4's (this is my baseline).

For clruiser-size PvP there is also Red Vs Blue!
I actually seen red vs blue on the forums, was really interested. Thanks for the reading, will check it out when I wake up. |

'Steady income' and 'exploration' are two mutually exclusive terms 
The drops are random. The sites you find are also random. There is no isk/h as far as exploration is concerned.
In Caldari lowsec you can get up to 3bil ( form DED6 ), Serpentis lowsec is less profitable. It is all subject to the same randomness however.
Exploration is my only source of income ( I don't have experience with missions ) and I can say that it can be very profitable. I have no problem plexing 3 accounts every month and fly most ships that I want. |
