Like I said earlier, I can quite easily get 7k LP or more from a single mission, and I get somewhere between 4000 and 4500 ISK/LP net profit (i.e. after LP item prices and prerequisite item costs are included) out the other end. That's rougly 30mil for a single mission from the LP alone.
Then your isk/LP conversion is extremely good. Comparable to someone ratting in -0.9 to -1.0 space, getting faction spawns left and right.
Making this failed thread a bragfest doesn't really serve anyones interest, except the rabble rabble crowd.
If the OP were serious about the issue, she should have done at least a little bit of research and come up with some comparisons that make sense. Starting with comparing missions to missions, before going on about ratting. Acknowledging missions in -1.0 sec for Q20 agent give more then double the LP compared to the best highsec offer ever. Which, btw, sits at around 8500lp with relevant skills at 4, so it might be 9k is doable with L5 skills. However, there are only one or two such agents iirc, they're not 90% combat agents, and they send you to lowsec occasionally, though mostly for couriers.
Then she would not have invented missions with 10 1mil+ bounty BS's and all that crap that followed that claim. Recon 1/3 is the only one that might come somewhat close, giving maybe 3-6 1mil+ BS's, and iirc 14mil total in bounties. Might have been just 11 mil total bounties, don't have my notes handy.
But I shouldn't get lost in the details here, as they don't really matter much in this thread. If you want to compare isk/h, do so. Don't go on about some missionrunning elite who have optimized everything and are getting so and so much, while the ratting noob in his T1 cruiser in -0.01 space is only making so and so much.
Taking the best bounty L4 BS and making assumptions about profitability based on that is a load of baloney from the start. Arguing about the details just makes the thread worse, as it might give some strange validity to the main statement in the OP, "just the details need to be worked out". So really, I should shorten my message a whole lot, but I won't. |
