What's the best way to make ISK in nullsec doing solo PVE? Warping from belt to belt killing the rats that spawn? Running the anoms? What's usually the most ISK per hour PVE-wise in null space? Also, what is the best ship to run such sites in and potential fittings for said ships if you can spare them? I'd imagine T3 cruisers would be best suited to solo anything that didn't require a carrier to solo.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated o/ |

Anoms in an upgraded system and their escalations (to DED complexes) are the steady income in Sov null space. Belts are way less isk and way more work. "Exploration" scanning down signatures for combat and profession sites is good but takes time and some luck.
If the goal is 'a fun activity that also makes space bucks' then it's exploration, if it's 'I need isk to do other things and can endure a bit ore tedium/boredom/repetitive actions, it's anoms lol. i'm one of the weird birds who actually LIKES doing anoms though.
As for ship for anoms, there are plenty of options. Depends on how much you want to spend and risk, how much isk you want to make how fast,, what space you are in (ie what NPCs are you killing) and what you can fly.
-Drone ships are good in any null space. Navy Vexor, Ishtar, Dominix are completely universal.
Tech1 battleships of various kids are useful depending on the rat
-Missile ships (Raven, Typhoon etc) are good everywhere but depend on you being able to buy, transport or make ammo.
-Marauders are great but risky.
-Carriers are really great but more risky.
-Tech3s are ok but slower than battleships
-Pirate Battleships except the Bhaalgorn are great depending on what kind of rat (the Rattlesnake is universal and laughs at all NPC EWAR because it general sits at range and if it gets jammed can just use FoF missiles, the machariel is great against all rats except Blood and Sanshas that tracking disrupt, the Vindicator is only really good against Serps and Guristas and the Nightmare is only really good against Sanshas and Bloods).
-Attack Battlecruisers aren't great isk wise, but are safe and cheap as all hell.
You have to have a starting point in mind. if you tell me what kinds of rats you will face, what ships you can fly well and such, I can be m ore specific. Like many of us in this forum section, I've lived all over Sov Null and done a whole lot of pve out there.

Anoms. Havens and Sanctums. Ishtar or a carrier. T3's lack projection and/or DPS in most cases by comparison. That's not to say that T3's are bad. They can solo just about anything. They just aren't usually the best choice for ISK/hr. |

Can you guys recommend any fitting for an Ishtar that could tank well and has good dps? Also, Micro jump drive out and drop sentries or what's the best strategy?

you can't fit a MJD on an ishtar.
Best way to do it would be warp in at range and just blap stuff as it comes in, have a MWD for repositioning. |

Fits are going to be very dependent on what type of rats you are shooting at. |

Also, is there an online resource that tells you which rat faction occupies which regions of null or is there presence throughout a region not uniform but random? |

How do DED sites/anoms in low and null sec compare with sleeper hacker sites in WHs, ISK wise? It has become annoying having to go back for my attack ship whenever I find a hacking site that has sleepers.
I imagine its way easier to get ganked doing anoms since they can just warp straight to you without probing, thus you have no warning when someone is looking for you. Or do you just warp out as soon as someone with a fishy profile jumps into local?
If I decide to do null/lowe sec anoms, it will likely be with an amarr T1 BS since there is no way I'm sending in a paladin out there. Any recommendations on fits assuming all skills needed are there? I assume I will be taking on sansha and blood raider pirates. Final question, is a Black Ops BS a good route for null sec anoms for safety and isk making reasons? Sorry for the long list of questions, but any help will be appreciated. |

Well, don't use a Black Ops for one. Their DPS is low for PvE with only being able to fit 4 guns. They also can't tank worth a damn (hence why they're almost exclusively used in fleets or dropping on bears).
Sleeper sites can be very valuable but requires a high degree of luck and also not being blapped by the cloaky proteus that's always watching you.
It's hard to be ganked in anoms if you're paying attention to intel and are aligned. For sentry BS like the Domi, a MJD cycle while aligned to a safe spot makes for a quick escape.
As for fits, I don't fly Amarr so I'm not much help there... |

Black ops can fit more than 4 guns, but that said their DPS is still low compared to other options and they are not cheap. |

So, the best way would be to infiltrate a wealthy null sec alliance. Slowly gain trust over the course of 3-4 years, then steal everything and bug out when you get roles.
I used to have a good fit for that, but I haven't seen it recently.

The exception is the Widow, which gets solid DPS and damage application with the right fit. I used to use 2-3 Widows, in combination with a passive shield tanked Loki, to run even the hardest sites in Blood Raiders space. Being able to jump around gate camps and use covert cynos to move was awesome before jump fatigue.

Actually black ops are nice for plexrunning in non-friendly space.
Namely sin and widow.
Sin is basically a slightly weaker domi. But since you are cynoing in onto some covops cyno capable ship, it will most likely be a T3 which can improve your tank with either links or RR. And since you are definitely planning to NOT lose a ratting blops, you might as well reasonably pimp it.
As for widow, well. It shoots out to 200km. DPS, both on paper and applied, is nothing to write home about, but you are range tanking everything including EWAR (but excluding T3 neuts, some sentry towers and some cruise towers). So a T2 buffer tank is enough, and only pipm required is faction damage mods and T2 rigors. The downsides are it's not the fastest ships to plex with (but probably the safest) and it needs ammo. Badly. |
