It works like a lottery. It's random.

Best way to have more chance to win the bpo you want is to have a lot of RP and when they offer stuff, you reject until you get the one you want.
Now, your Science level of the skills of the research field at 5, Research Project Manager to 5 and get more agents in the same fields to multiply your chance by 6. Take a level 4 R&D agents so HE give you more RP too.
I guess standing, social skills might help, but it's harder to test. Since you cannot remove them after you got them.
Oh yes, and you need patience and luck. |

You would be crazy to reject an offer since another one may NEVER come around again.
Seriously, theres people with 4 R&D agents (lvl4) who have been waiting for over a year with zippo.

I started my R&D carreer to get a Tachyon 2 BPO; almost one year before the Laser Physics field had any predictable BPOs in it at all. I Later recived some offers for lesser laser BPOs but turned em down. Lo and behold; several months later I actually were one of the first people go get a Tachyon BP. I guess sometimes good things do come to those who wait.

Your best bet is to max your skills; do all the missions - and be prepared to wait a *very* long time before you get a good BP. Starting now and hoping to get one of the blueprints already shown is probably not going to happen though; so I would set my goal for something else down the line.
Good luck! _________________________ Scientist, manufacturer, trader

Funnily enough it was a year to the week when i dropped a nemesis BPo recently. I hadnt had any other offers in that time, at the time i got lucky it was from my level 3 agent (i run 4 others at level 4) which had just been mounting up RP since i started her off.
I had given up hope of ever getting an offer, but at least it goes to show that you 'can' be lucky even after such a long time.

Theorically, if you take all the offers, you will never have big RP numbers, thus very slim chance for the big stuff. I guess you accept bpo also when you want to switch agents which might happen for some reason.
If you got crap offered to you, I sure hope you would not accept it even if the offer keep coming back to haunt you again and again and again... lol
That's why you have a week to think about it btw, losing all thoses RP for a Cap Recharger 2 for example would be a complete waste of good real time.
Research is like lack of implants, don't expect big result with 10 RP a day like you don't expect to train fast with an primary attribute at 7! But even then, you will endup having it. |

You need to remember it is a lottery with no guarentee you will ever get something. But also as a lottery you could win with 1000 RP. Keep in mind 1000 RP isn't much. I have over 10,000 RP in this field and I would guess there are people with way more. I haven't even done any missions or maxed out my skills for this agent so I could easily have twice as many RP if I had worked at it.

I'm curious if the quality of an agent does influence the odds of getting an BPO offer.

Better quality = more RP/day = better odds getting a BPO.
(Thus making Negotiation a good skill to train)

I've got 40000RP with my lvl4 Q:16 agent, never had any BP offers of any kind 
Guess I'll just have to wait and be patient... all good comes to those who wait right! right?? --- www.torn.dk - prog rock |

Did you just insinuate that getting a cap recharger 2 bpo would be a bad thing?

Over 36k RP with Caldari Starship Engineering...and I was away from EvE for 7 months, still nothing, but the points still are racking up. Although I havent received a mission from my R&D agent for a couple of weeks.

I would love to see something of an "offer" system with R&D agents, similar to regular agents. "You can take this BPC that we have, that has a 10run 20ME for 10k RP or decline and either wait for another offer or the actual BPO"
I dont mind waiting, but at least give us some choice in the matter.

Yes standing and social skills help as they increase the amount of RP points you get per day (as stated more rp better chance). I know this as when I started with my R&D agents I had connections 2 and increased it now to connections 4 and noticed a good increase in the rp with the higher agents I have
And yes patience helps I have had 4 R&D agents (all different fields) since April of 2004 and have not seen one Tech 2 BPO. Oh well 40m I flushed down the toilet so far but one hit and I will easily make it back.

I agree, something like this is needed... --- www.torn.dk - prog rock |
