I'm currently running level 3 security missions in my Drake while I train up to do level 4 missions. My question is how to make a worthwhile amount of ISK while doing so. at like 400,000 ISK (reward included, bounty not included) and an average of 10 - 15mins per mission (longer for some), that's only in the 2 - 4 mil per hour range. Reading rookie chat there are people doing exploration claiming to make 30 - 40mil ISK an hour.
Now I know they are investing time into scanning stuff down, etc, etc but that's huge margin in terms of isk per hour.
Would towing around a few MTU's in level 3 missions and taking the extra time to go pick them all up be worth doing or what? I enjoy missions but am struggling to see any sort of decent return with them. I could hop on the exploration wagon and make more I suppose but I don't really care for that.
So is there something I can do to better my ISK per hour right now without changing "careers" or is it just a "not happy, then dont do it" situation? |

Why would people not use a Drake for level 3's? Surely they dont run level 2's in a Drake, too easy. |

Before burner missions were introduced players typically were able to make more isk per hour doing level 3 than level 4's until they had really high Skills.
Null sec missions will pay out way more than high sec.
Running null sec anoms can get you 20+ million bounty ticks ( concord pays out bounties every 20 minutes each bounty payout is a "tick").
This is a game. You will hear people talk about fun per hour. In my opinion if you are chasing after what pays the most isk then you are playing eve wrong. You should be doing what is fun for you to do. You can make isk doing anything in this game.
However it's your game, don't let me tell you how to play it.
Ah yes. I forgot about LP. I should probably figure out the best way to turn that into ISK.

Use this CalculatorIf the best your corp can do on that is less than 1000 ISK/LP change corps :D ALSO a 0.5 mission agents offers substantially more LP than a 0.9 mission agent. The lower the sec status of the agent system the better.
Trying to understand that calculator. I plugged in Caldari Navy, then location was The Forge and I hit "Select Corporation Buy Prices"
So from that do I look for the item that has the best ISK/LP and go for that? |

Well for starters and learning the LP system I turned 38,000 Caldari Navy LP into 23 million ISK selling the faction ammo. Not sure if this is a good return or not, but that's what I got out of it. |

Also I'm reading an article (not sure how old it is) but it says instead of Caldari Navy I might be better with running missions for the Lai Dai faction. Any truth to this? Should I look outside of Caldari all together? That is a 0.6 ratio 600 ISK per LP. That is about right for Caldari Navy. Basically you can either: 1) select a Corp that has consistently reasonable ISK/LP. Generally SOE that comes in between 1400 and 2000 ISK per LP (more than double your CN returns) 2) or chase higher ratios and swap corps when necessary. You can often get 4000 or more ISK per lP for very short periods until the market gets saturated by picking the right corp. This is hard work and you need to be on top of the market. I would suggest SOE as: 1) the demand for SOE stuff are so high the returns rarely fluctuate 2) the SOE items do not need you to muck about buying or collecting tags 3) the SOE derived standing hit to Caldari is very small and can be pretty much ignored
So in short, running missions for SOE will be better than Caldari Navy in almost every way, correct? |

even the agents in the 0.7 systems? |
