i finally got around to training up the necessary prerequisite skills for using multiple r&d agents and am wondering what system those of you who run them use to maximise the use of the agents?
what i mean is, i'm about 20mins away from being able to use my second. is there a site that lists all the good ones? do you choode ones hear market hubs? or indeed, any other useful info you could provide would be warmly received.

maybe it would help if i stated what it is i'm after.
q. should i try and use agents that are nearer market hubs so i can get better prices for what i exchange my r&d pts for?
q. can i use any agents or just agents from the same stations and/or factions that i have been working for?
q. how much can i expect to earn from them if i skill up to lvl4?
if anyone knows of a good website that provides useful information regarding r&d agents, then please post it. i'd really appreciate it. |

This is what I'd recommend for working with R&D agents: 1. Go talk to highest level/quality R&D agent you can. 2. Ignore all mission offers. (No penalty at all) 3. Go back in 2-3 months and cash in on datacores. 4. Sell datacores=profit

I don't think so. I say use the highest Level and Quality agent that you can find.

You can use any agent that you qualify to use. Station has nothing to do with it. Your standing with the npc corporation effects who you can talk to, to do r&d.
q. how much can i expect to earn from them if i skill up to lvl4?
Depends if you mean skilled up to be able to use lvl4 r&d agents, skilled up to lvl 4 in the respective science fields, or skilled up to level 4 to be able to use 1+4=5 total r&d agents. Either way, start r&d with an agent. Then look at how much r&d you are getting per day. Then divide that by cost of datacore. Then multiply by how much their going for. For example, if you're getting 150rps/day from an agent, and the cost of that datacore is 150, then you're making that cost of the datacore per day.
if anyone knows of a good website that provides useful information regarding r&d agents, then please post it. i'd really appreciate it.

Always a good plan.

Your best bet is to have agents nearest to where you normally operate. This is because you can double the research points awarded for the day if you complete the R&D agent's mission.
Originally by: Forum Chav q. can i use any agents or just agents from the same stations and/or factions that i have been working for?
You can use any agent where you meet the agent's standings requirement *and* where you have the matching science skill trained.

"Earn" in terms of ISK is a complete guess. It depends on many factors, such as what science field are your researching, where are you selling the datacores, and so on. "Earn" in terms of research points depends on the agent's effective quality, your Connections skill (iirc), and the science field. *Broadly* speaking, over the long term, training to level 4 pays.

Personally, I'd try to find 5 high sec Level 4 R&D agents that were in fairly close proximity - and had useful datacores. For example, by working for three different corps, I only have a 23 jump loop to collect all my datacores. Much less annoying than on one of my other accounts, who has to go all over creation to collect his datacores. ------------ Improvize. Adapt. Overcome. |

rp per day = (agent lvl + your skill level in the field of science) ^ 2 x (1 + [effective quality / 100])
