promoting 2 agents in null sec aint gonna change a ******* thang!

its ccp's way of giving goons more ****. aka the surrounding area is gsf space in most parts

No! There goes my plan to assemble a fleet of sniper drone boats near the Osmon station, then wardec every mission corp in sight 24 hours before Rubicon drops.


Are missioners aware that prior to this change, there were 5 level 4 Sisters mission agents and (IIRC) two level 5 ones, including at least one L4 agent in each of highsec, lowsec and non-sovereign nullsec?

Umm, you're aware both locations are in high sec, right?

PS. nb4, waaaah! No lvl 4 combat agent in Gallente high sec space.

ok my bad.. still osmon will become mostly empty as they head for the two 0.5 systems for more lp.

just thinking tho how many tears there will be once they go back to lvl 2 agents. lol

Which they won't. Because, as you just said, everybody will flock to these two new agents, which means their "upgraded" status will persist as stated in the news piece.

That Lanngisi position sure seems sweet.

My prediction: CCP, ever the master troll, is gonna make the ship BPCs drop from new random SOE ship wreck containers found in WH sleeper sites or something, and not an LP item.

Since no one has done it yet I guess I will.

No lvl 4 security missions for Gallente high sec still?

Gellente missionrunners can use the one in minmatar space as even if they have killed their standigs towards caldary/amarr with anti faction missions minmatars would still love them. While not as good as having your own sisters agent in gallente space somewhere it will be magnitudes better than having only one lev 4 combat agent for sisters in caldari space.

That's completely sensible, positive, and doesn't involve shooting anyone in the face. Are you sure you're an EVE player?

This Lanngisi location is the best; close to trade hub, two COSMOS constellations, the Gallente border, major travel routes and even Gicodel, the old major SoE hub.

Oh, and yes, the LP output is great too. Not too many peeps seems to have realized (yet), though.

I understand this seems a bit unfair but we tried our best to spread the agents out so none of the new ones are instantly the most popular, most obvious choice and it seemed a bit overkill to introduce/upgrade 3 more agents at this point.

Well, there is a Storyline agent within the station at Lanngisi too.

Anyhow, for me it is the proximity to COSMOS that attracts the most.

But if you are pulling SoE missions in Aeschee you got 2x L4 security agents and a L3 distribution agent. So more LP per hour if you do it right and don't get caught. With all the gankers at these hubs, it's almost safer and worthwhile to actually run the agents in Aeshee.

There ware two level 4 SOE agents in highsec but when CCP did the agent changes one became a courier agent.

Translation: "Please bring your blingy L4 ships into low-sec, so I can violence them indiscriminately."

Thanks, but I'll pass.

Also, flaunting a L3 distribution agent... *chuckles*

Indeed. Inesmir Jimud, our hearts still go out to you!

There goes value of soe lp further down the drain. ack, the times of old when soe military agents were only in lowsec and null; taking effort and risk to hold and run.

I would like to know how lowsec missions work. I guess if your corp was in system and it was all blues you could do them but I don't see how a random person could just warp in and run them. Even in something fast like a T3 you would still get pined down by a couple recons.

L3 security agents are good for lower skill pilots that simply take too long to do level 4s but that's about it. I'm not sure what a level 3 distribution agent would be good for unless to get standings to level 4. You can train a no skill alt into an Iteron Mk V in 33 min so skills aren't an issue to do level 4 distribution missions.

Typical risk averse carebear attitude.

I am not a "risk averse carebear". I have flown solo/small group of friends in low sec / NPC null / Sov null poaching for years.

When these changes were announced I figured I would diversify my investments with a couple million in SOE LP.
I looked into available agents and determined that Aeshee would be the best place to earn LP.
It was great, I had two fleets blitzing L4s, and was racking up LP like it was crazy, but it takes a lot of overhead to mission in low sec.
1) You can't fly high sec fits. You loose a bit of dps and/or tank compared to high sec fits
2) You have to pay a lot more attention. No more afking while you play with the dogs/make a sandwich / watch TV
3) Some systems are plain of limits for missioning in (if they have scanners up and running).

After the .5 High sec systems opened up, I could make more LP/Hour with less effort moving to high sec.
On top of that, CCP devalued the LP that I had already earned because they increased the LP/hour for high sec missioners.

CCP ruined a great low sec hub with this change. Why? They could have added L4 agents in .7 -> .9 systems but they choose to add the agents to .5 systems and remove any advantage to missioning in low sec.

CCP should be encouraging people to move out to low sec. Not encouraging them to move from low sec to high sec.
