Okay,
So I'm a hulk pilot with varying access to 0.0 space. Sometimes I operate from empire and have found that I can make about 5 million isk/hour mining.
Anyone make more than that in empire and if so, how?
Just curious...

Use OreCalc
most profitable ore in hisec is veldspar and kernite (~7M/h)
in 0.0 it's arkanor and bistot (~35-40M/h)
Those numbers won't be accurate since I don't know your exact mining yield, if you're using hauler alt., your standings with corp owning the station where you refine your ore, etc.

Sure but I guess what I'm getting at is whether mining is the most profit people are finding in empire or not. What do you do and how much isk/hour can you make doing it?

If you want the most isk/hour for the least risk, run L4 missions.

I'm pretty sure veldspar is actually the best ore in empire if you refine it perfectly getting you around 90-91isk/m3. Not sure how much that is per hour, you do the math.

Best money in Empire?
War-decing offline towers. At 90 mil a lab, it is great money and if you're smart about where you look for them, should only take an hour or two to scout and find a couple of towers ripe for the picking.

How does that work? If you attack an off-line tower you can pick up the lab?

Destroy the tower and scoop up the modules.

Why does anyone bother with mining in highsec when it pays so poorly compared to missions? Even L3's pay a lot more than 5m/hour typically when you add up the cash rewards + bounties + modules + salvage + LP items for resale. They also need only a fraction of the SP to do it, and can be done largely afk with the right setups.
I can respect that some people find mining fun, and it can be relaxing if you're in the mood for it etc, but why would someone do it primarily to earn money? Am i missing something? (serious question, not intended as a flame - i genuinely cant figure it out!)

Think at the start mining is the best way of getting isk by time get to lvl 3's it's about equal then lvl 4's vastly overtake earning potential which is where i switched to missioning as corp mates who started the same time as me were earning loads more.
In my view the hulk is comparable to a bs even though it takes way longer to get in one and longer again to get redfining and production skills, so in effect you should be able to make almost as much earning wise as a bs, a mining barge is comparable to a bc so should earn around the same.

I do it because I don't really like missioning that much tbh. The downside there is you still have to grind out refining tax breaks, but I think if I made all my ISK running L4s I'd probably end up quitting the game.
Other than that, it's probably the same reason kids play with toy dumptrucks. I like my big, ugly haulers, my dirty mining barges, my survey scanners and mining implants... fun stuff.
I also build with my minerals rather than selling them on the market though, so that ups my income somewhat.
