Standings do not in any way change what missions an agent offers you ù this rumour has been around since forever but there is no evidence whatsoever that anything like that happens. Each agent has its mission pool, and those are the missions they randomly offer you. If you want different missions, you need to pick a different agent.

From my experience the Faction standings do affect the missions being offered from the Agent. After completing missions for all types of Corporations and Agents in different Divisions, it seems that after gaining Agent standing the mission offer pool is altered and based on the characters negative Faction standings listed in the character sheet.

When I start out with a new Agent in a new Corp, I'll get offered a variety of encounter missions, both Anti-Empire and Anti-Pirate with the occasional 'Stop The Traitor' mission type along with a few Rogue Drone missions. I always decline the Anti-Empire encounter missions. As the Agent standing goes up, the Agent tends to offer more and more of the type of missions previously accepted and completed. After gaining high Agent and Corp standing, almost all missions being offered tend to reflect the negative Faction standings (Pirate Factions) listed in my character sheet.

Due to my experience, Agents with the Gallente Federation seem to offer more Anti-Empire encounter missions compared to all of the other Empire Factions.

As for more rewarding missions, The majority of missions I get offered after gaining high Agent standing is Extravaganza, Worlds Collide, Blockade, etc. along with the 'Strike' storyline missions.

I agree with you...It does seem PERSONAL standing (along with a little corp/faction) for the agent does make a difference with mission types offered. If you have a low effective quality with that agent (say, less then 4.0 total), you seems to get missions that are not the "common" missions you see when you have a higher personal standing with that agent.

But that is my opinion after three years. :P
