Hello everyone. I would like some opinions.
Would it be better isk/hr running lvl 3 missions solo if I can do them relatively fast or should I keep running lvl 4s? My lvl 4 running speed is a good hour+ in my Raven when doing the more difficult missions (I timed myself in a lvl 4 Serp Extravaganza at 1Hr and 6minutes, not including salvaging after), but I know I can mission faster using my Drake in lvl 3s.
So, even though lvl 3s pay out less, would it be reasonable to assume I'd make more with them in the long run until my skills improve?

Personally would stick with the level 4's and use the 'blitz' strategies listed on eve-survival.org. The LP and mission rewards alone will bring in much more ISK per hour than the level 3's. With a bit of research and the right corp, you can net over 2k ISK per LP on the loyalty store items. Figuring 5k lp per mission, that's 10 mil ISK... usually 12 mil with rewards. So if you can blitz 2 missions/hour you netting 24-25 mil per hour minimum. That's a lot of level 3 missions.
As skills improve so does the ISK per hour... I average about 30-35 mil per hour forgoing salvage completely. That's at a minimum.

Time out a few missions for L3 and L4 agents. Divide Time spent by Isk made (excluding LP) and compare. Can do the same with LP

Optimal isk would be what you need to function in eve, in my case that would be the occasional pvp ships , and stuffs for my capital alt.
Personally i dont do isk/hr, i know thats how its supposed to be done but, doing that really makes it feel like something i have to do(sry i dont play games to do stuff i HAVE to do)
I make isk grinding sessions, like today the goal is 20 mill, then pvp / exploration / w/e
The 20 mill is my minimum and usually takes me 15-20 min in nullsec and about 30 min or so in empire.
What ever you make in an hour is decent enough if your happy with it.
But to your specific question: LvL 4's have the potential to make alot more isk than lvl'3, But your doing it wrong ... the way your doing it, Nets around 30 mill per hour in a decent ship (thats including looting and LP's@low value)That being said there is nothing wrong with it other than if you want more isk its the wrong way.
The ways to make isk from lvl'4 i wrote up in another post called LP=isk?
(LvL3's can Net you a nice income in low sec, if you bother with trading dog tags, Also they are the best for blitzing standings)

The rule of thumb that I always used, was, run lvl 3's until your skills are at a point where you have no difficulty at all with lvl 4's.
There is quite a large jump in necessary skills to go from BC to BS in eve, and most players don't recognize that (at an early age)
If it's taking you a long time in general, for lvl 4 missions... stick with the lvl 3's while you work on your skills.
Will you make more? It's going to be relatively comparable, I would imagine.

The purpose of L3s is to run them until you have the skills to run the L4s and until you have the ISK to afford a good PVE ship (including fitting).
If you can do both then continue to run L4s. The Average L4 is more profitable than the hardest L3 in many cases. This includes salvage.

Optimal isk/h for L4's is 250m/h, and it's a wee little bit less for L3's, somewhere around 170-200m. If you don't believe me, ask Frozean/Aristotle Onassis/whatever his alt is called today.

do FW missions/incursions/chain rats and salvage/nullsec exploration/level 5s... all of these are over 100mil/hr if done under optimal/normal conditions... tengu can do all of it.. I advise a tengu, or 2.. 1 buffer 1, 1 active 1
