I wanna get some points for when invention comes out... But I have a few other questions. How do R&D agents work? Are they like regular agents and just give missions? What exactly are R&D points? The same as LP? A replacement system? How many does it take to get a t2 bpo offer available? Are they hard to get? Does the corp the agent works under make ANY difference at all? I wanna work for Khanid agents, but they only have two and neither seem that good, especially compared to Vizam being closer to low-sec(means more points like LP rewards?) and having an entire level more than Khanid. I'm just totally new to this aspect and would really like some clarification...
I realize that's a lot of questions, but thanks guys for looking at it and hopefully helping

First you need to understand that your chance of getting a T2 BPO now is something like 0.0000000000000000000000000001%. But with Invention coming out, you may be able to create 1 T2 BPC each month. To do so, you need to train about 2 months worth of skills, buy at least one of the 300mil encryption skills, and spend a few weeks of mission whoring for the standings to use 5 lvl4 R&D agents.
How R&D agents work: You talk to them once, and than you automatically get RP everyday based on agent lvl, your skill lvls, and your standings. The system sec doesn't effect RP/day.
R&D missions: You can do one mission for them each day, which than gives you 2x more RP for that day. The missions usually require you to buy expensive items and arn't worth doing.
R&D points: They were like lottery tickets for T2 BPOs but now they will instead be used as currency to buy datacores to invent T2 BPCs.
Agent Corp/Standings: There arn't that many corps with R&D agents. Use the agent searcher at eve-info and find a corp with 5 lvl4 R&D agents and work for their normal agents until you have enough standing to use them.

Hmm... seems more like an investment than a profession to me... I wasn't really planning on getting a t2 bpo anyway. I just know that it's "available" through them so I figured it was worth asking. Thanks for your help. So can you just get as many R&D agents as possible and gather all the points per day? Do you need to actually talk to them each day to get the points?

Yes, Invention is like a very large investment. I already invested almost a billion in it along with over a month of skill training. I doubt it will pay off but I'm a skill collector so I needed the skills anyway.
You can only get 1 R&D agent at first. Than you need to train a skill to get more. You can get 6 max, but it will take over a month to get the last one so most people only get 5.
You just talk to the agent once and than you gain the RP completely automatically every day without needing to do anything else ever again. (Which is why most people consider the whole T2 lottery unfair since it took almost no work and was all luck.)
Even if you don't want to buy/train all the skills and stuff for Invention, you can still get an R&D agent and get datacores from them and sell them on the market to help us lower T2 prices!
