we get an important mission about once every 16 regular missions, but how does that counter really work?
is it a counter / agent, so you must do 16 missions for the same agent to get an important mission? is it by corporation? by faction?
if you do a few missions for a faction, and then go do missions for another faction, does the counter reset?
what if we do mission for agents of another level but in the same corporation or faction?
personally, i think it works with multiple counters, one for each level of each faction, so if you do level 3 and level 4 missions for many agents in a faction, or even in many factions, once you have done around 16 missions of a specific level within the same faction, you are offered an important mission of the same level, am i right?

I'm not entirely sure, but it works per faction atleast. I've ran missions for multiple corp' agents, at several levels and they all added up to the same single counter. I don't know if it also crosses over into other factions, I haven't tried that yet.

oh! but if it's a single counter / faction, then how does it work for the level of the important mission? i mean, if you do 10 level 3 missions and then go do 6 level 4 missions, would you get a level 3 important mission since you did more level 3 or would you get a level 4 important mission since the last mission before the important one was level 4?

It's 16 missions for a faction, on a level - doesn't matter which corp/agent within the faction.

Well, I am runing about 10 lev 4 agents, all from various Caldari corps. And, I've had as many as 4 storyline missions pending at once in the past, and had two pending just 3 weeks ago (Was offered the second before i had a chance to decline the first - so it's still possible to be offered more than one at a time). That suggests that the counter is by NPC corp at least and maybe even by agent.

I've had multiple L4 storylines piled up as well. It doesn't suggest that the counter is by agent or corp. It suggests that after I completed 16 L4 missions and was offered a storyline, I ignored it and ran 16 more L4 missions - at which point I got offered another storyline. Lather, rinse, repeat.
And yes, this was with multiple agents across multiple corps.
If you are still skeptical, do this: 1) run 1 mission for 16 different L4 agents, all for the same faction, 2)act shocked and surprised when you get a L4 storyline. 
It's 16 missions for a faction, on a level - doesn't matter which corp/division/ethnicity/sexual preference/hair color/agent within the faction.

how long does it take until you get the important mission offered to you? i counted completed missions, and i did 24 for the same faction, and still no important mission offered |

Same with me, often I go through 20-30 missions without an important one, and sometimes it's as few as 10.

I think it's the lowest level mission you ran that will affect what level storyline mission you will get. I ran like 14 level 4s and one or two level 3s and then I got a level 3 storyline mission.
