I also cant access RnD agent? He is show as available to me, my standing is high enough, he is lvl 2 and my science skill is lvl 4. I have all necessary requirements and still nothing?
How is it possible, is he overbooked? Its the one in Hek in Bounless Creation station.
For all the R&D agents you need Science 5 and at least 1 level in one science skill (for that agent they should be either Mechanical Engineering and probably Minmatar Starship Engineering).
You must have 1 level in one of the specific science skill that the agent has to work whit him, science 5 is a prerequisite for all those skills.

I have Science, Engineering and Electronics lvl 5 and Mehanical Engineering lvl 4. I am already researching and inventing, but I will see today afther downtime is there any change.

Ok, I am dumb. 
When I was applying to the RnD agent I only tried to contact him by first option that is given when you ask him for conversation ("Do you have job for me?")and I didnt see that I have to click that second option first to activate him as my RnD agent. So sorry for bothering you guys.

Hi all,
Is it still worthwhile doing R&D agents?
I am interested in production and invention but seeing as the T2 BPO lottery seems to be no longer viable I was curious if people would still recommend this.
Best wishes,
Adriana

Sorry but that is a monumentally stupid question.
If you read the guide (but of course you didn't you just hoped for free t2 bpos) then you understand that R&D agents are basically free datacores. Getting the RP requires no effort from you, it trickles in by itself. RP = datacores. What do you think? Come one and take a wild guess if it's "worthwile"

No, it isnt. The real question is, whats the return on the investment of time earning the standings as well as running around to pick up the datacores.
Assuming you can earn 20m isk per hour running lvl 4s and it takes 10 hours to earn the standings for a level 4 R&D agent, you wouldnt "pay off" your investment in time until you'd earned at least 200m isk in datacores, you also have to consider the opportunity cost of the isk you would have upfront not earning equity.
Unfortunately its not a question that can really be answered for you easily, so the short answer is generally if you dont play a lot or have lots of inactive periods, or it isnt a hassle for you to afk around in empire once every month or so it can be a nice source of small passive income.

Minerva Moore = Many thanks for the sincerly helpfull reply to my question! Oh wait...
thetwilitehour = Many thanks for the sincerly helpfull reply to my question!
I was aware that since the patch the T2 BPO is out of the question - using the limited search option this was the closest thread I could find without creating my own.
It may sound like a daft question to you guys but to a new player the world of eve is confusing.
Heck I even have my own avatar yet!
Thanks again thetwilitehour - Fly safe!

If you decide you want to be able to manufacture specific things how do you determin what skills/Agents you need to concentrate on.
Say for instance I want to make my own tech 2 drone.

Electronic engineering and Mechanical engineering for drones.
In general you can look the T1 BPO/BPC under invention, there are listed the skills and datacores needed.
BTW: the only drones worth inventing are the sentinel and the Hammeread II (maybe the heavy, but last time I checked it was not really worth it). For the rest the market price is lower thatn the invention builder costs .

I was thnking of getting one of my characters to 5 lvl 4/5 research agents just for isk. I was looking at duvolle labs. Can I make alot of isk from this? And say I pick high energy physics with one research agent, travel to the other can I pick the same research but with a different agent?
I also noticed with Amarr one corp has 4 of the highest lvl 4 R and D agents where duvolle i would have to settle with 2-3 high and 2 low quality lvl 4.
Which would you advise to be better or the best corp to get standing with for R and D and why?
Thankyou this guide has been very helpfull. I seem to lose these pots and topics on this forum easily so can you send the answer in an eve mail to me please? Thankyou much appreciated.

I might be repeating what others have said but thanks alot for this guide it really explains a lot.
I've got a mainly combat toon but am training up research at a basic lvl so they i can see that aspect of the game.
What I want to know is if I just use one R & D agent ( as i dont plan to train research project development skill) are my chances of getting any t2 bpos pretty much impossible?

In short:
No chance whatsoever.
Longer version:
If I recall correct, the T2-BPO - lottery finished some time last year, so I'ld say your chances of getting a BPO that way are indeed pretty much none-existent .
Check the playerguide, missions, R&D-missions here .
R&D agents give out RP (research points), which you can use to 'buy' datacores for invention (either inventing yourself or selling 'em for someone else to use for invention).
