i need to know what you do in the missions---what specials you use and if you only attack the base or attack all the mob then the base and how much you make in 3 hours (1 buff session).

your gonna want to do janta missions preferably shaman because mokk have a higher deffense to energy and so forth. they usually are around 27k on the mission terminal. go to it. prone, (take cover if you find necisary) , then head shot 2 is what i usually use since i find it does just as much damage most of the time and it costs less on ur mind. then when it gets close to you just kneel and continue using head shot 2. make sure ur buffed and u can usually clear it in 10 min.

i get 60-64 meters away from the nearest mokk/janta start headshot3 the bad boy and watch him fall just as he reachs you. this way u will not agro multiple mokk/jantas and you will take less hits.
if i ever see a group of 3 or 4 really close i am for the shaman or soothslayer and using strafeshot2 and start kiting you will cause maxium damage to nearly the whole of them with out getting hit much by the time there all dead.
ive never ever just aimed for the lair/base its jsut not worth it reallyu speed it up but you will take more hits and you will not get any janta blood or crystal or dot weapons.

Get to the mission. Target the one in the middle of the group. Take /aim with your Jawa (mokk and janta are both stun vuln). Begin spamming strafeshot2. They begin to charge you so you start running in a circle around the statue. Running in a circle put them at angles so your area effect cone will hit multiple targets instead of just one. Retarget until all are dead. I can do a mission in under a minute like this although they WILL hit you so wear some decent ubese (lighter than composite in the mind HAM category).
You can throw in a damage powerup to speed it up a bit but that will wear down your jawa much more quickly.

Yes, don't go against them unarmored, they hit hard. And watch your armor condition.
Also, go to a city with "improved job market" the missions there will pay just over 30k per lair.
I drop them fairly quickly with the T21, haven't tried using the jawa though.

The advice from the other posters is excellent.
I posted this same thing in another thread yesterday, but dont remember where.
-- Go to Dant (obviously)
-- Join a Solo Group to get higher payouts
-- Go to Mesric or another city deemed "Improved Job Market"
-- Take missions from those city terminals.
-- As master smuggler with ability to slice terms, I get 45K Mokk Missions.
-- The "normal" (unsliced terminal) Janta missions are 31-35K I believe
-- The Janta's are susceptible to Acid, if I remember right, so I just HeadShot3 them quickly with my DXR-6b, then take the lair out using StrafeShot 2 with a high-damage laser.
-- The Mokks are susceptible to Stun and Heat, so I had been using my Berzerker rifle, but I just found out recently that it is apparently very valuable, so now I power up my Jawa Ion and use it on the Mokks.
You'll have to do the math on the money based on what $$ missions you can get.
I tend to do my missions in a fairly leisurely manner, so I figure 20 minutes to actually get TWO missions off the terminal, get to then, take them out, and get back. So in my case maybe 200-250K per hour.
Some other helpful hints:
-- By using the Mission terms in player cities like Mesric, the missions are usually around 500 to 1000m CLOSER than if you run them out of the Outposts. This can save you a couple minutes of travel time.
-- Smuggler hurts and helps. I can slice the term for more money, but since I leave my tag up most of the time, I often have to spend extra time answering tells, etc. If you happen to be a smuggler too, then you probably want to turn your tag off if you really want to be more efficient.

No macros no nothing, get a good t21 sliced to power slap a power pup , make sure youre speed caped ( +97 speed ) , park the atst on a safe place , got to a improved job city ( 30.6k payouts ) pick to missions to the same direction , get to the mission , stop at 64 meters , point to the lair , open fire , if jantas they drop in 3-4 secs if mooks make that 6 secs , 15-25 secs a lair , jump to the bike and keep pushing , you will need doc buffs , 2 brandys 2 BE ahrisas at a time , a Ubese or a light compo and ALOT of pups ( they do go fast ) and you should be able to get around 2 mill a run if you do it non stop . One word of advise , its stressing to do missions like this , i did it till i got 12 mill , one run every day after 1 week i quit and went doing nyms with no buffs lol

Allright man, I'm going to bo buy a new T21 (figure doing this will probably toast my good one) Ahisra, and some PUPs.
I suppose there's additional money to be made in lootdrops from these guys too. Or did you bother to loot them?

I don't know you Alastor, but whenever anyone posts totals like this I feel compeled to disect them. So Idon't mean any disrespect when I say I have severe doubts about them.
Lets analyze....
77 missions in 3 hours = one mission every 2.33 minutes.
First, the travel time....
Now in player cities, high paying missions are usually at least 600 - 1000 meters away (lets say average 800m) and often move another 200-500 meters once you get near them (lets say average 200 for grins). So add those together andyou have (on a good day) only1000m to get to first mission of the two, then maybe 400m average to second mission (even in same direction they arent often very close). Then usually at least 1000m back to city. Thats 2400m MINIMUM just in travel distance. On my swoop bike that is 2 mins and 20 seconds right there.
This implies you mount twice, dismount twice, find two good missions in the same directionon the terms, kill 2 sets of MOBs, and take out two64000 HAM nests in about 13 seconds total. Over and over.
Hmmm... While I have no doubtyou make a boatload of money doing what you describe, I think you may want to revisit those totals. Again... I just don't want to mislead the masses out there who think this is the norm.

Hmm.
I wonder how many missions we can do in 3 hours? A challenge a say! Everyone go home and try it tonight, post your results tomorrow!
