2 questions about storyline missions:
1. I've read somewhere that you receive a storyline mission after every 16 missions. My questions is what the criteria are. Does it have to be missions of the same level or missions of the same agent?
2. I finally got my 1st lvl4 mission. However, my expectations were quite overrated it seems. I got the 'a case of kidnapping' mission, and although it's a mission with A LOT of BS, the rewards are 1.1M and 1M bonus. Huh? Every lvl3 mission earned me at least an implant worth 14M. Is this a bug, should i petition it or am i missing something?

1. It's 16 succesfully completed missions of a certain level for a specific faction. Agent/corp you run the missiond for doesn't matter. Each level and each faction have different "persistant counters", so you can go do 15 L1 Caldari missions, then as many "anything else" missions, then as soon as you do one more L1 Caldari mission you get a Caldari L1 storyline.
2. Storylines are random, but highly dependant on storyline agent used. You "got lucky" somewhat with your "assigned" L3 storyline agent, because he always gave you the "material for war preparation" mission. Now you run L4s somewhere else, and therefore work with a different L4 storyline agent almost for sure... and this one likes combat missions more. Do enough and you might eventually get a +4 implant mission here too. By the way, the "kill" mission storylines give a hell lot more faction standing increase, in case you haven't noticed (compared to the implant mission). So either way, it's a win/win situation. Oh, and you probably made at least 10 mil in bounties in that mission, haven't you ? _ MySkills | Module/Rig stacknerfing explained |

I have my own question regarding storyline missions, so hope you don't mind me asking here.
How is it decided which storyline agent you will get when you hit your 16 missions? Does it look for same corp in same system? I want to get high standings for a particular corp. (Corp A) I've been running missions for that corp that has a storyline agent in the same system...whenever I've gotten a storyline, it has been for that same corp agent, so my standings have been increasing rather quickly...(good thing)
I'm doing this though using lvl 2 agents and would like to try and use higher level agents. Problem is there is no higher level agents for Corp A that also have a storyline agent in the same system. If there is a Corp A storyline agent in the same constellation but another corp (Corp B) from the same faction has a storyline in the same system, who would I get the storyline from? Would it be a Corp A storyline in a diff system (same constellation) or from Corp B which is in the same system?

It usually just picks the "closest" storyline agent of the "right" faction. Closest, as number of jumps (from 0 to how many it takes). If several are in the proximity at same range, you get randomly assigned to one of them.
I say "usually", because I'm not quite sure 100% if there's no randomness involved even at different ranges, so you MIGHT get assigned to a storyline agent that's a bit farther away sometimes. Most of the time though, yeah, the closest one. _ MySkills | Module/Rig stacknerfing explained |

If there are potentially only two storyline agents nearby that you might get assigned to, go for your first storyline mission offer and see which one you get. If it's not the one you wanted, just don't take that mission, and grind 16 more missions in that constellation. The other agent will give you the next storyline mission.
As long as you don't decline the first storyline mission, you'll be able to grind missions from the second storyline agent until the first mission offer expires. If you're spammin level 3s, you should be able to get a large percentage of your storyline missions done with the corp you wanted.
Wow, hope that made sense to someone . . .

Quite a lot of it, even. Great idea, haven't thought about it, thanks.
For insane "haha"-like effect, speed-run L1/L2 missions for the storyline agent activations (you can probably activate two storyline agents every three hours with ease), and then you have a whole week to do L4s (or L3s) for your storyline agent of choice anywhere in the constellation, not just "closest" to you. _ MySkills | Module/Rig stacknerfing explained |

Wait--does it have to be 16 consecutive successful mission? or you can complete 6, give up 1, and do another 10?

OK, I get the "16" part but the question remains whether that magic "16" is a. offered, b. accepted or c. completed?
Do R&D agent missions count? I thought not at first but then I had a bizzare incident when delivering 2700 units of tritanium to a routine R&D request screwed up carefully planned 16 level 4 mission streak...
My problem is that I want to raise my standing with a particular corp and I have required storyline agent from that corp where I want her (there is a level 4 agent in the system 2 jumps away so the "trigger" mission completed with this agent launches required storyline lady into action). But I "run" 3 other level 4 agents and sometimes leave missions running for a full week as well as completing them "as normal"... Hence the question is what actually makes up that magic number 16?

It's 16 compleated missions, although there is a time delay from compleation of the 16th mission and the storyline offer, if you have refused or failed any of those 16 missions you will need to compleate two more to make up. R&D missions may well have storyline missions too, have never done enough to find out, but the same rules would apply I expect.
