3. The relationship between Agent Quality and LP Reward is quadratic.
To quote some figures, if a Q-20 agent gave you 100 LP for a particular mission, a Q0 agent would give you 200 LP and a Q20 agent would give you 400 LP, assuming the system security for all three agents were the same.
I think you meant to say something else? Because this makes no sense...
EDIT: Plus didn't you just say agent quality doesn't affect the LP reward?
Agent Effective Quality doesn't affect LP. Agent Quality does. The EVE Wiki describes the difference between the two better than I could:
Quote:
Quality: Agents also have a base quality, measured on a scale of -20 to +20, and an effective quality, rated between -30 and +55. An agent's base quality, coupled with their level, is used to determine whether you have access to the agent's missions, while their effective quality is involved in calculating mission rewards. Effective quality is derived from an agent's base quality plus a combination of your skills and standing with that agent. The higher the effective quality is, the better the mission rewards.
And which part of that point didn't make sense to you?
P.S. Biggus' subscription has run out and I won't be re-subbing for a few days, so I'll post with this alt until then.

I have a question though. There are skills that increase the LP gained from missions, such as Bureaucratic Connections and Labor Connections. Are they all the same for you? Because if they aren't, they may mess up your findings.
When I calculated the rewards, I compensated for the Connections skill. Taking the equation from the wiki:
Quote:
Actual LP Reward = Base LP Reward x (1 + (0.05 x (Level of Connection Skill 1 + Level of Connection Skill 2)))
I simply rearranged the equation to make the 'Base LP Reward' the subject:
Quote:
Base LP Reward = Actual LP Reward / (1 + (0.05 x (Level of Connections Skill 1 + Level of Connections Skill 2)))
Then I based the rest of my analysis off these unmodified values.

I believe one (or both) the bolded numbers must be wrong.
Oops ... nice catch! Should be 4.32 and 3.64.
