That is why many pirates do missioning as well because it helps offset their ships and also allows them to pick up faction loot. The second most consistent is tritanium (veldspar) mining because every industrialist needs tritanium to work. If you find a guy with a 4.3 per trit buy order and have some time at work, I'd go with that over mission running since it needs less focus. Just like the rest of eve it depends all on your play style, if you have time to actually play mission running is the best and pirating is really fun. If you want something to actually do at work while you sit there mining is the way to go. If you have an alliance to mine with in 0.0 all the better for you. Aren't they revamping industry/mining this winter? Agreed, for the most consistent and immediate money you should look to mission running.

The thing is missions are a lot less safe. As you go up in missions difficulty you'll eventually get blown to bits and then you lose a huge amount of money. So at some point it becomes a matter of either doing safe missions or trying to make more money in harder one. For the safety reason many people resort to mining. Mining in 1.0 zones doesn't bring much cash but theres is nothing safer you can do. So players figure that safe money beats unsafe one. Finally there's mining in 0.0 zones. The whole point of corporation controling these zones is so they can have people mining there. If you have the ressources to transform the rare materials you find there to make ships and weapons then you stand to make the greatest money of all. But since everything "belongs" to a corporation out there you can't really just stroll in and mine. When you get spotted mining out there corporation will do their best to destroy you. Pirates also love to jump lone miners. Your only real choice is to join a corp and climb the ladder high enough so your allowed to make money. If you ever have the chance try to find and watch one the mining operation of the truly big corps. They turn the whole thing into an efficient stripping machine. You have about 3 to 4 huge cargo ships with smaller mining ships stripping everything in the zone. There's fighters and battleships protecting the whole thing. It's really impressive. And if you have the ressources to pirate the cargo ships its the biggest payoff of all :P For pure money return missions will always bring more immediate money.
