This isn't a rant or a moan, but yesterday evening I felt so incensed, that I just had to log off. What caused this you may ask? My Lvl 4 Agent.
I was a happy mission bunny in Niyabinen, like most people going to the highest quality lvl 4 Agent I can find, So the system was quite busy and it was decided to move the agent to Motsu, great
So move we all did, hold on a sec, moving a problem, rarely solves it. So shock, horror, with 200 missle spamming lvl 4 bunnies and support the system grinds to a halt, again. Guess what? that's right, the Agent is moving... again.
Now, I don't know about you but I think it's time we saw a more long term view.
Why do people go to the same agent? more lp means prizes, but wait how about intstead of having it by Agent why not by Agent corp? So if you are doing Caldari Navy missions all the agents you use go to a corp based lp "pool" so that way it doesn't matter who you do missions for, your lp's stack up and you get offers from the corp not the agent.
Why not have more high quality agents? that would stop people swamping a system? or am I looking at this with too broad a view?
Or failing that have even higher quality agents in lower sec space?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Cheers

It's not a general agent problem, it's a Caldari Navy problem. CN has bad high lvl agents. The corp I am running missions for has 4 q20 lvl 4 agents all in a 0.03 sec system.

Great, just great,
Why is it such a hard thing to create more high quality Agents for CN?

Switch over to Amarr Agents then. You should have decent standing anyhow.

That's an idea, I could set up some ships to do Amarr missions, still a hassle to move ships.
Thanks for the tip.

If you're going to make more high-quality agents, then why not just make all agents Q20? Or get rid of quality altogether?
I agree that care needs to be taken in placing the high quality agents. If I had my way, they'd be spread further apart. They'd be away from other high-quality agents, including those of lower levels. And you'd be more likely to find them in low-sec. There needs to be inconvenience to offset the benefits of high quality, IMO.

I thought in low sec the agents gave out far more lp's per mission? Thus countering the hassle of using them (not to mention the risk of getting ganked) I could be wrong

Well, my current contract involves myself in some ops in Gyerzen, and half of the locals use a lvl4 q 15 Amarr Navy agent. With that said, it appears that around a dozen of what I called "Macro Mission Runners" have packed up and left, so if you do arrive, please be afk at gate or belts.

Caldari navy isnt the only caldari npc corp, i dont think any of the 'navies' have decent high quality agents. Thats what alternate npc corps are for

I'd vote for the LP's being with the NPC corp and not the agent...
Would solve the whole... change the agent and start over on the LP's issue.
Thats the reason I still have the same Lvl 4 commmand agent... I don't like the idea of starting over on my LP's

...which I'm beginning to think should be plastered in mile-high letters in every Caldari system.

Amarr Navy has 4x L4 Q20 agents in the same station, actually. Minmatar republic fleet has a couple of stations with a pair of Q17+ agents. Gallente federation navy and Caldari Navy only have 2 Q15-17 agents, none higher.
And there are not very many high quality L4 Caldari agents, Navy or not.

It's not just the L4s causing trouble for the Caldari Navy.
Kaunokka is seriously starting to lag under the 170 odd people who frequent it every night. Only a few months ago, we rarely saw numbers above 50...

The only problem here is everyone feels the need to work for the Caldari Navy. I'm working from a station with 3 Qual 20 LVL 3 agents and 2 Qual 20 LVL 4 agents. There's another station in the system (for the same corp) with similar numbers. The peak usage in the system is low 20's. Seriously, start working for the Amarr (or Ammatar). That's where the good agents are at.

I think the combination of A. eliminating quality and B. LP accumulate to NPC corp rather than per agent is the answer. Then we would see a true exodus from overloaded laggy systems to a more even distribution of mission runners.
