Edited by: Grellek Duval on 28/05/2010 05:35:26 I'm primarily a trader, and my account is quite new, so i don't have much in the way of comabat skills. That being said, i'd like to work on my standing with some corporations, but i'm having trouble finding agents who won't double up on combat missions (such that, turning a combat mission down only gets me another one, and i'm back on the hunt for a diffirent agent again).
I realize level 1 combat missions aren't hard, but i'd much rather courier or do some other mining/r&d/trade/etc. while i work on my actual money-maker (regional trading).
TL;DR: Will i need to sink a bit of time into combat ships/skills so that I can reliable raise my standing with corps, or are there agent types out there who deliver very few combat missions? (Presently i've got some lvl2 mining and marketing agents who love to send me on kill missions)

Probably a good idea to invest some time training up some combat skills. You'll get a small percentage of combat/encounter missions from the courier/mining mission agents.

That is what i'd suspected. Seems even the most-courier mission agents still have around a 20% chance to give combat missions (my estimation based mostly on mining agents).

Edited by: Oddshrub on 28/05/2010 09:00:35 These are basically your options: Accounting: 91.23% Courier, 8.77% Kill Archives: 92.47% Courier, 6.16% Kill, 0.68% Mining 0.68% Trade Distribution: 79.24% Courier, 20.43% Kill, 0.33% Trade Manufacturing: 82.42% Courier, 10.61% Kill, 3.65% Mining, 3.32% Trade Mining: 41.06% Courier, 23.85% Kill, 27.75% Mining, 7.34% Trade Production: 90.83% Courier, 6.43% Kill, 2.46% Mining, 0.27% Trade Storage: 78.77% Courier, 19.18% Kill, 2.05% Trade
And of course there are: R&D: 46.48% Courier, 53.52% Trade But as I understand it you can only do 1 R&D mission a day and you'll need to have the correct research skills to corrospond with the agent.
You can't find agents that won't send you on combat missions, and you can't find one where you're sure you won't get two within four hours. I guess production and manufacturing might be your best bet, since they have a higher chance your non-courier mission will be something other than a kill mission than archives. But I wouldn't know for sure.
Anyways, I did a lot of manufacturing missions for thukker mix when I wanted to boost my standing, and I didn't have a whole lot of problems avoiding the combat missions I didn't want.
Shame there aren't any real mining agents though. ;)

Edited by: Natalie Caladan on 28/05/2010 10:12:37 I'm not sure that those numbers haven't changed really.
A few days ago I picked a L4 Archives agent and I got 3 combat missions in a row, although they all included the "courier" element of bringing a suspect to the agent for interrogation and such.

I'm actually fairly certain those numbers are inaccurate aswell. I too get a lot of "kill X and bring back Y" missions label'd as courier (when that's the most negligible element of the missions). I intend to run a hundred or so missions for each type of agent to see for myself what those figures come out to be (perhaps i'm still within reasonable probability). I know for certain mining is a much smaller portion of actual "mining" agent's missions.
