I think I understand basically how the agent / division / storyline system works. My problem is that I tried to find a setup that would give me a nice chain of distribution missions to run, but the "Storyline - Distribution" agent that is closest to me keeps giving out the exact same faction outpost kill mission every cycle of 16 that I complete. This is really annoying since the entire point of picking the system I did was to get one where the storyline agent was in the "Distribution" division, which I assumed meant he would give "distribution" missions (i.e. couriers, not combat).
This hasn't been a huge problem so far, since I'm running level 2 couriers in my cruisers anyway, and I can do level 2 kill missions without much trouble. It's going to be a big problem if they keep giving me these at level III/IV though, since I am months away from starting my combat skills and ships training plan. The character I am running now is focusing on trade and hauling for the near term, and I only started doing couriers to get some faction standing up to improve the haircut on trading. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that I'm forced into combat missions for the story lines, when I've gone dozens of jumps out of my way to find a system with appropriate distribution primary agents, paired with a "Storyline - Distribution" agent in the same system (the only storyline agent in the system, as well).

Has there ever been an "official" explanation for why it can't just do what it says on the tin? (i.e., if it's a "Distribution" storyline agent, what is the problem with having him just give courier story lines only?) I can actually see this being more annoying in the reverse situation; where I've done 16 combat missions in my shiny BC, then my "Storyline - Security" contact drops a Level IV courier on me which requires me to move 40,000 m3 of Raggy Dolls 12 jumps across the region. I'm just not sure I see the point of the randomness, especially since the story line agents are advertised as being in certain divisions like the normal ones. |

That's good to know. Thanks. |
