On another post I read that it was "easy" to become a billionaire doing missions because you could get a faction battleship (and sell it presumably).
However, I don't see how easy this is. Assuming:
- faction BS BPC costs 500K LP
- average level 4 mission gives 3000 LP
- average L4 mission takes 1-3 hours
If you played for 1-3 hours every night (1 L4 mission) then it would take you 150 nights of playing to get your BPC (not including any time to acquire the rare tags required) which is 5 months. That is a lot of play time for 1 billion.

Yes, but you also make rather a lot of money along the way, which helps.

Where is this agent that ALWAYS gives 3000LP missions?
Mine give missions ranging from below 500LP to over 4000LPs, averaging somewhere between 1000 and 1500LPs.

L4 missions are probably the best money in empire space at the moment, but 0.0 mining and Rat Hunting beat them. I know, I've spent time in 0.0.
Having said that, L4 missions is empire DO make decent money, enough that I feel no overwhelming urge to run into 0.0 for money (have been getting a growing urge to go there for some fun, but that will wait a bit longer...) This upsets some folks. To bad. The game puts the best 'stuff' in 0.0, but some 'good' stuff in empire. I like it that way.

135K LP after 2 weeks of only doing missions in weekends and 1 or 2 in the evening on other days, so 500K lp isn't that hard to get

I don't do missions, but lets just say thats correct. Not sure theres anything wrong with it being that way, and I can kind of imagine CCP wearing a big smile here

point is youll throw yr PC out from window if you get lagged/scrambled/bad setup/not paying attention and get blowed up by some NPC or even(if you go 0.0 with it) some guy in regular BS.
So only thing you can with this ship is to sell to some corporation or player-billionare.

500k isnt that hard if you don't stop to loot every single spawn you kill. you spare ALOT of time that way if your obj is the 500k lps
