They're random, however I usually get 2-3 burners in a row. |

With high standing, Agents will offer more rewarding missions that are nearer to their location - thus more ISK, less jumps.
In my opinion that mission pool is based on missions previously accepted and completed.

I don't have any empyrical data but with blitzing you go through a very large amount of mission offers very quickly and your agent standing tends to fluctuate. Also I used to do a lot of missions without ever declining missions and having high standing. I do not think agent standing affects mission offers. |

My agent standings fluctuate wildly from -1.0 to all the way up to 4.0
I can not say that I've noticed any patterns at all. Even have a list of 80 missions accepted/decline with agent standings after each mission. It's not enough data to be called empirical but theres no pattern. I get blockade at high and at negative standings as well as angel, bezerk, assault, Damsel, mordus, recon etc.
Without data any patterns you see is purely subjective and suffers from selective memory and confirmation bias (and various other buzzwords).
Also theres maybe around 35 missions that can be offered NOT including burners. You'd need a very large sample size with agent standings, faction standings and corp standings before and after each mission to make any kind of statement regarding there being a specific pattern. |

Well considering with the right skills you can skip any and all missions that you don't want to do be it because of distance, non-blitzing characteristics or don't have the right ship/fit(burner) it's mostly irrelevant. Where I mission 90% of the missions I do run are all either in system or at most 1 jump away. The only mission I do regularly that is more than 1 jump away is Scarlet and the burner missions.
Say you do want to run most of the high bounty/high paying missions like blockade or angel extrav, etc. since you're running most/a lot of missions anyway without declining many you'll naturally raise in corp/faction/agent standing.
That said I tend to get a lot o team burners (that I can't run yet) and the other burners seems to have dried up :/ Might just be RNG being RNG. |

If you were a real mission runner you would be using 5461321587 alt accounts to pull your missions for you and couldn't care less what missions you decline  Just kidding. Get your faction standings over 5.0 and then who cares how many you decline, just stay over -2 agent wise.
Pretty much, don't need a pulling alt although I do have one just in case.
Now again, I don't have a lot of data but as soon as I hit what looks to be my Faction standings 'cap' (7.5 ish unmodified) I've only been getting Materials for war storyline. It's enough to keep me at 7.5 for the last 2 weeks (hence the quotes around 'cap') and is just 1 jump I can do in an inty for a nice 17mill. I do just under half the missions in the mission pool from the agent I'm at so slightly larger than some blitzers but it keeps me at over -2 agent without any additional upkeep or pullers. |

*shrug* at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Yes there could be a small little modifier based on whatever standings in the quality of missions given or theres not because it makes absolutely no change, at least to me. The effect isn't big enough to be noticed or even to effect the way I have ever run missions and thus it is irrelevant if it exists or not. Not a great mechanic if it has no real effect, isn't known about nor effects anyone's play. Equates to wasted dev time if it does exist. |
