I hate to inform you of this, but the "nerf" to incursions isn't really going to have that big an effect. Lets take this point by point
Vanguards 10% nerf - if you were in a shiny fleet, you were already making between 100 and 150mil isk/hour. Now you are making between 90 and 135mil isk/hour
But then, they are going to be making them random and not blitzable? Ohs noes, the sky is falling. Erm... before the "buff" to OTA's, way back when, when you still had to swat all the frigs and cruisers to be able to leave the field, my fleets were still completing them in 4-5 minutes. Which if you take 5 min between sites and make 9mil isk/site, you now make over 100mil isk/hour. NCO's aren't going to have any real change, unless they actually add something new instead of just making the trigger random. And NMC's, well... i don't really see any way that they can really reduce your time running those
Assaults
OMG the trigger is random/last ship on field. Well... from how I ran assaults way back when, I don't really see any major change here
HQ's if the trigger is the last ship in a wave, no real difference. If it is the last ship of a specific type, again, no real difference.
So to conclude... if you made your isk running vanguards you get a 10% dps nerf. And incursions become slightly more entertaining, because there is now the (slim) possibility that something might go wrong
But to answer the question of what is the most profitable
C5/C6 sites w/ capital escalatio
farming C3/C4 static
incursion
Mission blitzin
C1/C2 site
nullsec farmin
lvl 4 mission
I am not putting exploration in the list, simply because the results tend to be so random. Its one thing to run the maze and get just an overseer artifact, and another to run serpentis fleet shipyard, get an overseer artifact, a vindi BPC, and 4 X-type mods. Last time I did the maze it took me 2-3 hours (mostly, getting through the damn maze). And that payout comes out to about 30mil isk/hour (split several ways), not counting the time it took to find it. The serpentis fleet shipyard took about 45 minutes and the payout was something like 2-3bil. Thats not saying that exploration is bad, just that it varies too widely to be put in a spot on the list
