Hello,
So I understand that different fields of research bear different RP multipliers.
Are these multipliers at all relevant in choosing a field to research?
For example, in undertaking my market analysis to establish which field I wish to engage in research with, I have identified two fields which are very compelling:
A Racial starship field which has a very stable price of around ~150K per datacore
A general engineering field which has a fluctuating price between ~400K - ~600K per datacore
The starship engineering field supposedly bears a 3X rp multiplier. Does that mean that I can effectively obtain 3X the datacores in this field, versus the general engineering field which as a 1X multiplier?
To put it another way, is the ~150K per datacore which the starship engineering will net me effectively ~450K for the purposes of my market research, due to the 3X multiplier?
Or do starship datacores cost 3X as many rp?

the higher your skill (in this example caldari starship engineering) the more datacores you get per 24h. So GSE 4 gives more at the same agent as GSE 3 lvl will give per 24H.

Hello,
Thank you for your response. I understand how the RP formula functions, my question concerns the field multiplier.
When researching within starship engineering fields, there is a 3X multiplier on RP accumulation.
Do starship engineering datacores cost 3X as many RP?

Second question:
Do the little missions which R&D Agents give you every 20 hours count towards standings With that agent?
1) research multipliers are irrelevant, with starships you get x3 RP and pay x3 in Rp for the datacore (150 RP for 1 starship datacore), same thing for the others study field with a multiplier;
2) The mission don't give any standing, only RP. You will never get extra standing beside the effects of your skills with the R&D agents.
But those missions count for the missions needed to get a storyline.
