Note level 4 agents are in.
why not:
Finding an Agent
The tutorial agent who welcomed you to the world of EVE will introduce you to a second agent once you have completed your tutorial missions. You may use that agent or look for another agent to work with.
All NPC corporations have agents. Level 4 and 5 agents are not available yet as content for them are still being written. Agents working for corporations loyal to the CONCORD or the Jovian Directorate are also unavailable for now. Those corporations include the Inner Circle , the DED, the SCC and CONCORD proper for the CONCORD faction and, in currently accessible space, Genolution, Impro and X-Sense for the Jovian faction. All other agents are available to anyone who meets their standings requirements.
The agents tab in a corporation's info window will show all agents and their availability. Agents unavailable because of their standings requirements will display the required standings when you query their agent info.
More information about corporations can be found in the World of EVE section of the official EVE website at http://www.eve-online.com/corporations / (out of game).
Agents are assigned to a corporation's individual divisions. The type of mission an agent can give is in part determined by the agent's corporation and division. All agents give out a mix of combat and courier missions. Agents working for the military (e.g. the Federation Navy), a corporate security service (e.g. Ishukone Watch), or a security division within a corporation (e.g. Internal Security), are more likely to give combat missions. Agents in the R&D division of research companies are research agents. Research agents only give missions to researchers working with them on research projects. We will cover research agents in a separate chapter.
ò Open "People and Places" from the NeoCom bar.
ò Set the search type to Corporation.
ò Type in "Astral Mining."
ò Click the info icon in the results window.
ò Activate the register "Agents."
ò Click on the downward arrow next to the Mining division.
ò Click on the info icon for the first agent listed as "Not available to you."
ò Check the standings requirements.
More agents will become available to you when you meet their standings requirements. Standing is split into personal standing (your standing with the agent), corporation standing (your standing with the agent's corporation) and faction standing (your standing with the faction to which the agent's corporation is loyal). Personal and corporation standing are gained by doing missions for an agent and/or corporation, faction standing is gained by doing "Important mission." Personal, corporation, and faction standing are also gained by training the Connections skill.
The percentage of standings gain and loss is determined by agent level, mission and agent quality. All agents have a base quality which is modified by your standing and relevant skills to the level of effective quality displayed in the agent info window. Any higher level agent of bad quality is better than a lower level agent of excellent quality, e.g. a level 3 agent of quality -15 gives better standings rewards for completing missions that a level 2 agent of quality +15.
