Everything ended when you just said "they do not include travel times"

That is just fail. As if game time, real life time and all calculations stop with your stopwatch. Mission income MUST include travel time or it is just BS coming from a dark, moist place on your posterior.

My original post are avrg. numbers, lets do some reverse math for Lanngisi:
System security = 0.461
ISK/h = 130.77m (Bounty+Mission reward and time bonus)
LP/h = 129,786
Wealth/h ~ 390m

Burner Mission in Lanngisi:
~ 5m bounty + 6.5m reward ~11.5m
~ 14k LP reward

130m/11.5m = 11.30 Burner mission per hour.
130,000/14,000 = 9.28 Burner mission per hour.
Those numbers mean, i wasn't doing Burner missions exclusively and i actually did a lot Assault. That explains the surplus of ISK and deficit of LP.

Anyway the best way is test it for yourself if you don't believe my numbers. Key points are:
- Perfect skilled Machariel/Frigate char +5 damage imps + a high grade warp speed set and all other relevant skills at 5.
- Don't accept Burner mission which are more than +3jumps out
- Don't accept normal mission out of the pool i posted here which are more than +2jumps out and always blitz them if possible
- Make sure your agent standing is at avrg. 0. In case you start fresh or have a very bad streak you might have to accept more normal mission out of this pool for Minmatar and Amarr agents.
Pirate Invasion GÇô Angel
Attack of the Drones GÇô Drones
Mining Misappropriation GÇô Sansha
Stop The Thief GÇô Mercs
Gone Berserk GÇô EOM

avoid this pool if you can:
Unauthorized Military GÇô Angel
Blockade GÇô Angel
Pirate Invasion GÇô Sansha
Damsel in Distress GÇô Mercs
XXX Spies GÇô Angel
Right Hand of Zazzmatazz GÇô Mercs
Rogue Slave Trader 1+2 GÇô Sansha
Infiltrated Outposts GÇô Drone

And decline all other missions.


This is a copy/paste from my sheet for different runs in Lanngisi:
LP/h ISKm/h
129,797 131
122,487 117
120,110 119
138,956 134
125,218 126
129,281 143
142,656 146

And you ignore that fact that not everyone is in a 5 bil Vindicator. My TVP "intermediate" lvl Mach costs 2 bil, and my buddy who just returned to the game and has started doing Incursions with TVP is flying a Basilisk. A Basilisk in high sec in microscopically low danger makes as much isk for an individual pilot as a Carrier does at risk in null sec.

The sillyest part about the basi is how so many people won't train for logi so the queu time (at elast when I ran incursion) were usually much lower so you start getting payout faster.

It's still the same, my buddy hadn't played in 3 years and had only been back for a week when I encouraged him to try Incursions seeing as his alt has Logi 5. We got on the wait list at the same time that night and he was in fleet 17 minutes before I was lol.

Of course I was in a Mach, I'm training guns for a Vindicator now :)

L5 mission income is hard to quantify - some are easy and crazy lucrative, a few are going to be very difficult without multiple pilots (which will reduce your isk/character of course) or a very quiet system and a carrier. The LP values are typically horrible compared to the easy ~2k/lp you can get in highsec as well.

250m/hour is possible for sure, but only with lucky mission rolls - quite a lot of the time you won't have something you can easily run solo and if you're using multiple characters, you should take that into account.

Indeed, i'm missing the number of characters part. But getting 250 mil an hour with 2 chars in tengu's is quite rare. 200 mil is more plausible

In FW at Teir 4 you can do 600-800mil an hour blitzing a combination of Lev 3 & 4 missions.

[quote=Warmonger Simon]Carry mobile depot and refit as needed, 1k dps tank is not needed in 90% of C3 sites. ~600-700 will do most just fine so swapping one drone link aug in a place is always a possibility/losing one of relays for drone damage mod. If you're doing normal anomalies only 740 is max tank you'll need given you don't shoot triggers first. As far as drones go yes correct i placed 2x augumented hammers in there for fitting purposes , sometimes they get targeted but with gilas bonus their ehp is huge and you'll have no problem recalling them in case that's needed.

Perfectly well said.

I bring a mix of tech 2 hammerheads and Fed navy Hammerheads. The faction drones tank like a sumbitch with gila bonuses , worth a little less paper DPS. Hell, that Gila is a champ in a fight with people too, I escaped like 3 time by popping in warp core stabs and medium neuts (had some help from sleeperss switching aggro too lol) ALWAYS have a Mobil depot deployed and ready.

And always have the right stuff in cargo, cloak, probe launcher and probes, cargo expanders, warp core stabs, ammo (duh), scanning modules, Mobil tractor, and i'm sure I'm forgetting something, I'm not in game right now.
