Is there something wrong with my logic?

The ratting bot can make 10-20 mil per hour. Closer to 10 mil per hour on average sometimes less. It can peak around 30 mil per hour if the system is high-quality and quiet (a hard combination to find).

A (kill) mission runner can make 10 mil per hour off bounties and rewards alone. Closer to 20 mil per hour if you have a second bot looting and salvaging. More if you factor in the loyalty points.

Given that ...

1. Running missions in generally much safer than ratting in 0.0.
2. You don't have to run stealth resupply missions once a month to supply your ratter.
3. You are not viewed as a ISK farmer and are less likely to be noticed/reported.

a mission bot would be preferred over a ratting bot.

Is my argument sound? Am I missing something?

I bring this up because I am growing tired of all the headaches involved with 0.0 ratting.

I think a kill mission runner would be hot, but the question is gonna be, Who's gonna code it? I certainly can't.

I can actually make enough isk on my courier mission runner, just to pay for that account, factor in standing, LP, Reward Items and it's a pretty damn good deal. Even though, I can't really spend make any extra. Make a kill mission runner, and I think you'd have a real winner. Isk + Standing + LP + SecRating + Reward Items. Pretty hot combo, IMHO of course.

A mission runner bot would be 100% better than the ratter at least. Ive been thinking about it for a while and I think it could be done , but amadeus would need to implement a couple of things (align and fixing the problem with fetching mission text).

I would certainly be up for helping out make one.

I agree glider, missioning bot > ratting bot

The reason ratting is preferred sometimes is because of faction spawn loot and because you dont have to put any initial effort into it.

Great idea and much better all around compared to ratting.

A mission bot is WAY more complex than a ratter though, you have to look for tons of stuff, the chances of dieing are present and if the bot screws up at any point, very likely to happen.

The investment in the ship is higher too, it's very easy to create a ratting BS with a decent tank, i would say it's impossible in normal ratting duties that it might explode at all - if you loose a mission ship though...

Something you guys may not have realized but one of the few "passive" ways to make isk in the game is datacores. So you need research agents, lvl4's are best (most dc's per day). Having a missioner running up standings for your research agents is the gift that keeps on giving

The other thing a mission runner could do is get your faction standing up high enough to set up a pos in highsec (people charge 400m in some cases for this "service").
