Qayos	Posted - 2005.03.24 07:41:00 - [1] Important missions have changes quite a bit, so most of the old info is outdated. Can we get some new info on them? Specifically, I'd like to know the following.... 1) It's been said that it takes about 15-20 missions till you get an important one. 2) I've been told that refusing a mission will make you have to do two more missions to make up for that refusal, even if its a refusal that is once in four hours that has no effect on your agent standings (the agent doesnt care that you refuse, but I guess the faction DOES?). 3) Assuming 1 and 2 are true... if I try to get a mission from a different agent of the same corp and faction as my main one, say to try out a higher level mission, but after reading the description think I wont be able to handle it, so I refuse it, will this affect my chance of getting an important mission through my main agent? 4) from 3... What if I simply fail the mission? 5) from 3... What if the second agent is of a different corp? 6) from 3... What if the second agent is of a different faction? Thanks for any input... Kaell
Boffin	Posted - 2005.03.24 08:21:00 - [2] You should get an important mission once you have completed 16 missions for each respective agent. If you are running more than one agent (irrespective of corp) you will have to complete 16 missions for each agent before they offer you an important mission.

So I have to track down every agent I ever ran a mission for and go do 15 more for each one of them? Or did I misunderstand what you were saying?
Seramis	Posted - 2005.03.24 09:12:00 - [4] 1) It's been said that it takes about 15-20 missions till you get an important one. --> you get an important every 16successful missions at one agent 2) I've been told that refusing a mission will make you have to do two more missions to make up for that refusal, even if its a refusal that is once in four hours that has no effect on your agent standings (the agent doesnt care that you refuse, but I guess the faction DOES?). --> if you decline a mission you have to do some more missions to get an important 3) Assuming 1 and 2 are true... if I try to get a mission from a different agent of the same corp and faction as my main one, say to try out a higher level mission, but after reading the description think I wont be able to handle it, so I refuse it, will this affect my chance of getting an important mission through my main agent? --> if you decline a mission at another agent that does not affect the chance of getting an important through your main agent 4) from 3... What if I simply fail the mission? --> fail a mission? hmm, for most missions you have 24hours to complete (Angels surprise 2hours). Within 24hours u can get a new ship and complete ist. But for the case you fail a mission it is like declining the mission after accepting it. So you will lose standing and need some more missions to get an important. 5) from 3... What if the second agent is of a different corp? --> it does not affect your chance at 'main' agent 6) from 3... What if the second agent is of a different faction? --> it is a different faction, so same as #5 here
Qayos	Posted - 2005.03.24 09:14:00 - [5] Edited by: Qayos on 24/03/2005 09:15:31 Thank you Seramis. That sounds logical, though not what I was told in HelpChan by others. I think/hope your interpretation is correct. Can anyone (preferably Dev) confirm that what Seramis said is correct, and what I was told in HelpChan is incorrect? Thanks all. EDIT: Especially point 3.
Hornymatt	Posted - 2005.03.24 09:39:00 - [6] The "every 16th" basis of important mission distribution seems to very occasionaly be awry. Most mission runners i've talked to get them regularly, a couple i've get them more frquently than 16, some don't seem to get them at all
Boffin	Posted - 2005.03.24 11:57:00 - [7] Originally by: Qayos Edited by: Qayos on 24/03/2005 09:16:47 Edited by: Qayos on 24/03/2005 09:12:14 re: Boffin That would mean if I run 1 mission for agent A, and 50 for agent B, I do not get an important mission? So I have to track down every agent I ever ran a mission for and go do 15 more for each one of them? Or did I misunderstand what you were saying? If you run one mission for Agent A you still need to complete another 15 missions before his faction will offer an important mission. If you ran 50 missions for agent B without refusing or failing any. you would have already had 3 important missions from his faction and be on your way to your fourth. If you refuse a mission it adds 1 to the 16 figure and keeps adding 1 for every subsequent failed or refused mission. I'll see if i can find the thread that explains it.
MutationZ	Posted - 2005.03.24 13:40:00 - [8] What is an important mission? Is this a "storyline" mission which affects faction standings?
Valerien	Posted - 2005.03.24 18:21:00 - [9] So far, I've been working one agent and the important missions come out like clockwork- exactly every 16th mission. Though I've been using only one agent, I will try throwing another agent in the mix and see how that affects the rate (to confirm if you need 16 at one agent or can it be distributed)
Valerien	Posted - 2005.03.24 18:23:00 - [10] Edited by: Valerien on 24/03/2005 18:23:17 Originally by: MutationZ What is an important mission? Is this a "storyline" mission which affects faction standings? Yes, important/storyline missions are interchangeable names for the same type of mission. Once you complete 16 missions for your agent, you get an EVE-mail from some other agent who requests you to go to them and do a special mission
Zeromancer	Posted - 2005.03.24 19:50:00 - [11] Originally by: Boffin You should get an important mission once you have completed 16 missions for each respective agent. If you are running more than one agent (irrespective of corp) you will have to complete 16 missions for each agent before they offer you an important mission. Im doing missions for 2 agents. I'm getting storyline missions every 16 missions even if i do 10 missions for one agent and 6 missions for another. The agent i use most sends me to the same storyline agent 8 jumps away. The other agent sends me 2 jumps away, so i use to count 15 missions for 1 agent and then i go and do 1 mission for the other and then i am getting a storyline 2 jumps away.
Qayos	Posted - 2005.03.25 09:09:00 - [12] So that would seem to indicate that point 3 is actually a YES, refusing missions for another agent will affect your chances of getting a ImpMiss from your main agent, if they are of the same faction. So if I do 15 for A, then refuse 5 for B, I wont be getting a story mission anytime soon if they are in same faction... correct?
