I reckon this also means you can get stuff like Sansha's spaceship command skill books and Sansha's frig/cruiser/battleships ?
Could you make Chelm Soran's Battleship the roof for Sansha's? :P
Also is there any chance of more lvl4 agents being seeded?
I noticed especially pirate faction agents could do with some more.... maybe even add some of their agents to low sec empire space, to give more people access to non empire faction agents. |

question...
Do i have to do missions for say a blood raider agent to get a blood raider maller?
or could my ammar navy agent perhaps give me one from a raid they did or something?
I personally think you should only get faction ships from the faction that built the ship. Reason being that pirate agents seem to hurt your standing more than others, so you should pay that price if you really want a pirate faction ship.
Ofc i am totally biased because i got access to True Power (Sansha's Nation) agents and got a 9.99993 standing :P
Would be nice if PS could give us some more info, but i fear he's teh busy with shiva :D |

Papasmurf thanks for your answers. Really nice of you to give out such info :D
I got one more question, will for example True Power agents offer Faction or officer items? or maybe even have them as mission bonus rewards?
And btw, you said you'd think about adding more agents if there was a lot of demand. I want more True Power agents. So there's a lot of demand now! :P
Btw anychance you could ask a peon of yours to compile agent statistics again, like standing top ten for all factions/corps? :D
Keep up the good work, can't wait for the blackmarket functionality of my True Power agent :D |

That's not quite what I meant. I currently have a hangar full of Minmater dogtags from the current agent missions. You've not actually mentioned what we're going to do with them at all. Can we turn them in for LPs or will they be part of the "requirements" that come from the agents for their LP rewards?
Yep same here, just that i have dog tags from those amarr scum bags :D |

Maybe there should be some fine tuning of the ship types you get to blow up on kill missions. So all agents dish out 50% pirate ships and 50% other empire faction ships.
But then again this could kill of trade with dogtags.
Would still be nice for pirate agent runners to get a ship with bounty from time to time. Seeing that some missions pirates now drop dog tags + have a bounty. Have yer cake and eat it n all.... |

Does this mean courier mission runners will be left even farther in the dust when it comes to rewards? due to not generally reciveing dogtags and the such.. or will there be courier missions similar to the homeless ones where you get something leftover that is used in the lp reward system?
On SiSi right now, we're recieving pirate faction dogtags from the regular mission and belt rats - I'm collecting quite a pile of Angel dogtags, and I've managed to scrounge up a True Sansha tag too :-)
I'd really like to see CCP explain that change to pirate agent mission runner.
Till now ccp pretty much told us "you get dog tags, that will be like bounty".
But now, everyone gets dogtags + bounty.... except you guessed it the pirate agent mission runner.
I am aware we're only few, but getting shafted when you're already in a ****ty position aint much fun. I'll only keep on doign missions because i really really want sansha's ships for my own use. But income wise you're stupid if you do pirate instead of empire missions.
Maybe CCP can be arsed to have a look at it. |

I'd explain, but dog tags are really none of my business, so I'd be talking out of my arse 
You'll hopefully make up for it by getting pirate offers which very few others will get.
Zrakor cleared the question up now. Pirate agents will pay bounties for dog tags.
So dog tags are still an alternate bounty system, like has been said by your team PS :)
Btw. If pirate agent offers are so rewarding, a lot of people will work for them.
The thing is, people wont, as long as the reward is not a lot higher than those of empire agents. (people are still afraid of 0.0, and believe all those nice myths)
The ground work to encourage people to work for pirate agents however has been laid, now there's a minor thing, a lot people can't work for them because their standing is less than -2.
Could you introduce lvl0 agents that do not have any standing requirements? This game changes constantly, and a lot of people have way to negative standings with certain corps to use any agent. Since this game is way to focused on standings and agents are the key to standings, it would unlock a main part of the game for a lot of people. |

I wonder. Are the pseudo-empire factions pirate or empire in status? So will a lvl 4 Thukker Mix agent give pirate or empire type rewards?
Just wondering.
Both on TQ and Shiva Thukker Tribe corps are treated as pirate faction corps, they send you to slay Ammatar, Amarr, Khanid and occasionally mercenary forces. (There are also some Minmatar Fleet ships in some of the spawns, why they are flying along Ammatar Navy ships and even protecting them is beyond me...)
The only offer I got from my Shiva agent was the 600k LP one everyone is getting, so not sure if they give empire or pirate offers.

Thukker Tribe is weird anyway, as they got R&D agents too. |

Thukker agents should no longer send you to kill their Minmatar brothers after the Exodus release.
Thukker Tribe is not really a pirate faction per say, if you were to scale the Empires and pirate factions on a 'ebil' meter and the Empire factions were on one side with the pirate factions on the other, Thukker Tribe would end up somewhere in the middle. Thukker Tribe consists of a bunch of nomadic groups that are not very friendly to visitors who aren't part of their culture, and aren't afraid of attacking foreign passerbyes in their territory. However attacks on innocent passerbyes occur mainly because their society is so chaotic, and these offenses are usually done by thugs and cutthroats and not condoned by the tribal elders. Their relationship with the Republic is tenuous at best, even though they share common enemies in the Amarr and Ammatar. They should not be actively sending you to kill Republic Navy ships though  , unless those particular Navy ships did something to warrant the attack. Thukker space is also a haven for pirates, as they have a good relationship with a few major pirate factions.
They're certainly not rated as pirate corp, they got R&D agents.

Best faction ship i've seen is the Raven Navy Issue.
Raven with 7k base shield and a 7th launcher hardpoint \o/
the Sansha's bs is leet too, perfect long range armor tank with 4x turret/4 launcher and 8/4/8 slot layout. and 18 or 19k grid  |
