While "conventional" mission running relies on b

While "conventional" mission running relies on mainly loot/salvage/bounties with mission rewards (LP+ISK) added on top, blitzing goes mainly for the LP that are awarded for mission completion. Those LP need to be "cashed in" in the loyalty stores, requiring purchasing and selling of items from those stores.

==Picking the right missions==

Not all missions can be blitzed. When missioning, you should continuously reject missions that are unblitzable, waiting for missions such as the Minmatar version of "Worlds Collide", "Blockade", "Recon" or "Pirate Invasion" that can be completed quickly within minutes for a high LP reward.

"Blitzing missions" is solely about combat missions ("security missions"). Not all missions can be blitzed. When missioning, you should continuously reject missions that are unblitzable, waiting for missions such as the Minmatar version of "Worlds Collide", "Blockade", "Recon" or "Pirate Invasion" that can be completed quickly within minutes for a high LP reward.

A blitzable mission per definition is a mission that doesn't require you to kill all (or even most) of the AI enemies - it rather focusses on either reaching a location, picking up an item from a container or kill a few key enemies for mission completion.

You would need to do some research (e.g. on http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports) to get an actual list of what missions are blitzable, but one will finally "know" what missions can be blitzed.

Obviously, doing only L4 missions is the way to get the best effect, although many lower level missions can be "blitzed" as well - but the rewards don't compare well to the potential of L4s.

==Standing requirements and managment==

The most efficient way of making money from missions is called blitzing. You do not full clear the mission and kill every rat; instead, you get in there, kill only the ships that you absolutely have to, and leave instantly to turn it in. If you fly this way, most of the money that comes from missions does NOT come from loot/salvage/bounties, but from the LP.

Not all missions can be blitzed. When I missioning, I continuously reject missions that are unblitzable, waiting for missions such as the Minmatar version of Worlds Collide, Blockade, Recon, Pirate Invasion that can be completed quickly within minutes for a high LP reward. I am able to reject multiple missions in a row because of Faction standings. You get a lot of Faction standings by completing storyline missions, and this falls down extremely slowly when rejecting missions. As long as you keep your Faction standings above 5.0 (rather easy to do) and your individual agent standings above -2.0 (don't reject a gazillion in a row), your agent will keep talking to you and you can keep rejecting, only waiting for fast blitzable missions.
