I think if there were you would need a fleet!

I don't think they exist. Whoever said that probably meant they did 20-25 missions. As far as I know the highest it goes is 6 million ish.

I believe they would have ment the 3-5 Mill (againts fleet of deadly battleships) missions, you would have to kill them all and take every valuable loot you found, sell them to get the total amount of $20-25 mill ?

yes 3-5mil missions here sindroms made a video explaining this already http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kILAFpGEpac

Or, they have done a mission and sold all of the loot and made alnost that amount of money. Although the most I have ever made from 1 mission is about 18 mill

20-25 mill missions can ONLY be found in Omicron-Eta ( Granted you sell the loots ) - However, these are against Corsairs/Outcasts and it takes longer as every mission is like 30-40 clicks away.
Best place ( after investigating all the other places, including ontario from the rogues ) - Is Omicron-Delta, Yaren base - All missions are 10-20 max clicks away and each mission has a minimum of 7mill worth of cards - Maximum profit is around 19Mill ( If you take cargo kill missions ) - Good thing though, each mission is about 3-4 minutes.

Having done quite some missions in my time...highest paying I ever saw was something like 5.9 mio I think.
With selling the loot it's more though: you can get about 350k-500k per cruiser and 1mio-1.5mio per BS, I guess.
Depends on where you do the missions, against whom and where you sell the stuff.

Let's say you get 400k per cruiser and 1mio per BS. If you are lucky (?!) and you get a four wave attack, "best" (if you can take it, otherwise "worst") I had were 16 BS. That'd be 16 mio for the BS + 5.9 mio (because it's very likely a max. paying mission) + other scrap, like fuel often, ~22 mio credits. No way you are going to take that on your own though.

With cruisers you can get like four waves of 4-5 cruisers, though I also saw some factions with 4-7 (maybe even 8) cruisers per wave. That'd be 11.2 mio for the waves and probably something around 4-5 mio for the mission (since higher paying missions are more likely to spawn BS in at least one of the waves, unless you go up against a faction which doesn't have BS). So ... something around 16 mio. Maybe 17 mio at best. (Enjoy repairing your equipment after their missile spam, if you survive it.)

It's easy to sell credits cards gained from factions which don't have special cap "pilots", like when fighting against BHG, Outcasts, Corsairs, Order or such. Fighting against a house navy though, you will need to find a place to sell the captains/admirals, highest paying places are mostly prisons, I'd guess. Problem is, if you "farm them till your cargo hold is full", there is always a risk that the next mission brings out so many ships in such bad spots (like, right behind you) that they easily kill you, making you lose all freight. It's advisable not to do those missions on your own.

I enjoyed, for example farming Corsair missions in Gamma against BHG caps on a Legate for some time. It's rather risky though, you need to be fast and close in on the small cruisers as fast as possible, because they are hard to hit from range and they slowly nibble you to death. Also, if you stay at >2k when they blow up, the drops disappear. BHG BCs can wreck you rather easily as well, as they got massive firepower due to their unlimited cores. If you get a wave of battleships, your main goal should be to get them grouped up and from the side, so they hit each other and you don't get a full frontal cerberus bombardment...
I guess OC have good missions around their home as well or in Eta against Corsair caps. Order also got them, but the Osiris is rather weak. GRN or Council might be interesting too, as well as any other house navy, if you feel like doing cap missions. Even IMG got them against OC caps, but you'd need a CR BS then, which isn't the greatest choice, or a Council BS. You just need to find where there are cap missions available. I have only tested a few places, since I only have two BS at the moment. (Though the thought of doing IMG or GRN anti-OC cap missions is rather interesting...)

But heh, just some tipps ... somehow I felt bored and felt like explaining that.

um me thinks i will stay form these missions then as they sound very very very hard.

Anything below 1 million will be fighter missions. They're quite useful for some quick cash.
