Removed the section about blitzing in a drake. This was more than 10 years old. The meta has moved on.

This will require some research for you - finding a good ISK/hr rate requires looking up various items in the reward store and comparing how much you can sell them for to their LP cost, always factoring in the other items/ISK you need to pay in order to obtain an item from the LP store.<br>

"Good" items can be pretty situational or temporary only, an average value of 1k ISK/LP will result in income similar to what you get from "regular" missioning, but will not make Blitzing a superior choice (ISK/hr wise).

==Blitzing in a Drake==
Most people blitz L4 missions in battleships (or even faction BS, equipped with lots of gear helping them to achieve their objective as quickly as possible - the Machariel comes to mind, combining cruiser like speeds with high DPS, making it a strong choice for mission blitzing).
But while the Drake is generally too weak (DPS wise) to do L4 mission, it is possible to actually do blitzing of L4s in a Drake, thus allowing earlier access to L4s than usually recommended due to the training time for a battleship. The strength of the [[Drake]] for blitzing, though, comes from its (relatively, compared to battleships) high mobility together with the still beefy tank, allowing it to enter L4 missions.

In many missions you would just burn away from your enemies, towards the mission (blitzing) objective, thus reducing all the damage from the rest of the rats while you pick off the relevant targets from range (using the Drake's long range as a strength as well).
It is strongly recommended to get all your support skills (capacitor, shield, navigation and missile skills) to III or even IV before even considering using a Drake this way, as you will need those skills to make up for your lack in DPS compared to battleships. Obviously having full T2 is also recommended.
