I don't think anybody makes 30m an hour ratting in battleships. Maybe 20m if you're really fast in a good system.
On the other hand, you can easily make 30m an hour mining in a hulk.
Actually, this is untrue. The key is the types of spawns. I can easily make 30mil or more an hour npcing. The trick is to kill everything bellow 1mil in bounty and any spawn that isnt a tripple bs spawn that meets the 1mil rule. Eventually you get a system full of bs over that amount or more and let me tell you when this happens.... dear god the money comes flying.
To answer the op, I have seen estimates of pilots making closer to 60-70mil an hour mining high ends (yes they had to have haulers aka alts)
But I think your whine is a bit unwarranted in this case.
Most people fail to realize that to make the really big bucks and quickly you NEED more than one account. 6/10 need at least 2 accounts, mining needs a miner and hauler, ratting needs the same.
The key differences in mining and ratting are
Mining,
You get a guarentted set steady income.
Mining is not sense intensive (meaning you can easily do other things on the web and mine at the same time)
If done properly one does not have to move about much
Npcing
Fluxuating income
Moving around alot
some skills are used in pvp (as in gunnery etc)
Now heres the thing. Alot of people fail to realize the real benefit of NPCing doesnt come from bounties... it come from mods.
First tech 1 non named item refines give you the whole spectrum of mins, making it much easier to build things you need. (BS mods give you a large amount of needed minerals)
Second named mods can sell to great affect in empire. Most of my trips to empire hauling 20k of named mods net between 300-600mil depending on what drops were.
At most I would say the two fields are on par. The real issue seems to be in their differences than them being unbalanced towards each other.

You can.... If you score an officer spawn within that hour 
but that would require an officer every hour so,
you cant.
Must be a noob then, cuse I can and have on several occasions. Officers/commander spawns were only icing on the cake.

finding an officer on several occasions is not finding one every hour, every time you rat though is it?
you cannot find an officer every hour, everytime you rat. read and comprehend before answering with drivel.
Well mister alt tastic maybe you should try reading alittle better. I am saying that officers/commanders are not needed to acheive the income of 30mil per hour ratting. Just because you cant manage it doesnt mean its not possible.
