i was looking at training skills and increasing standings to use many high level research agents. but, it seem the rewards are not that high and they halt training quite often and won't start any rp gain unless you run a mission for them. can someone that uses research agents please confirm how much they can actually make using them? also, is the only reason for using one the rp to get datacores?

It's a nice passive way of gaining ISK. It certainly will not get you rich, but its relatively little work.

Hi
Despite what the mail from the R&D agent says, the research is not halted and you can safely ignore the mail.
But if you DO run the mission you get double rp that day!
The only use for rp is datacores, yes.

problem with t2 bpc is all slots are taken up for weeks. would have to wait a very long time or get lucky to get a slot. correct?

or you could put up a pos for yourself with labs, granted thats expensive and tedious. Otherwise there are player (and corps) that rent out their labs or something, don't know how they do it, but there is at least one person with a pick of their research slots for rent in their sigs. You'll just have to pay a little more. If you're in a bigger corp or alliance you could probably get some that way. But thats really only if you get into it.
other option is datacores are valuable to those who do have the labs already. Suicide ganking afk haulers in high sec with 500+ mechanicals in tow... Just sell em on market = win

If you are refering to the copying slots yes they are usually in use. But if you find one that will be free in say a few hours or a day you can still put the job in that slot and it will "Queue up" and your job will start when the the present job is finished. |

about how much isk would it take to put up pos for the purpose of creating t2 bpc? my alt. does have the standings to put one up in high sec. and was thinking about doing so. i do like the suicide gank plan to get those datacores. |

*remembers to go check his RPs*
I've been outlaw for about a year...no collection during that whole time from 4 level 4 agents.
Prepare for a flood of Mech Datacores!

I just been doing that the last week after the lottery was stopped I forgot all about research agents and the lvl 4 agents had been running for 4.5 to 5 yrs. Sadly they don't equal up to as much isk as I was hoping.

Or get a covert ops frigate or transport and sneak into 0.0 regularly to do research. Lots of room there.
If you get nervous at the sight of a 15 man gatecamp with bubbles and portable disruptors, or like to warp from gate to gate, this may not be for you though.
