I have been working diligently with L3 and L4 agents of Republic Security Services (RSS) in the hopes of increasing my standings with the Min/Gal factions. However, it seems that I have either hit a tremendously bad streak of luck or ventured into the extremely low percentile realm. The nearest storyline agent, which clearly is marked "Surveillance" (i.e. 95% KILL) has given me courier missions the last six times! To see if it was just a run of bad luck, I waited for another storyline agent to offer, and that one, from admin division, also has offered me four courier missions in a row! So, that has been 10/10 courier storyline missions for RSS. Did CCP somehow nerfed Faction Standing increase, or more so for characters of a typically non-friendly race (this one is Caldari).
Something just seems really wrong here, and it is really annoying to spend hours to just get a courier storyline mission that barely increase standings. (I do not care much for the rewards.) ....

It's just luck. Sometimes you get the kill missions and sometimes you get the courier missions. Either way, it's just another mission to accomplish, then on to the next one.
Most people who are grinding faction standings run courier missions so that they get storyline missions more often.

Im experiencing the same thing. Check this history of every storyline I've ever run:
02.18.2007 The Celestial Imperative (Kill) 02.21.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 02.25.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 03.02.2007 Whispers in the Dark - The Outpost (Kill) 03.06.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier) 03.08.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier) 03.12.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 04.15.2007 Angel Strike (Kill) 04.28.2007 A Force to Be Reckoned With (Kill) 05.03.2007 A Force to Be Reckoned With (Kill) 06.23.2007 Shipyard Theft (Kill) 07.12.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 07.12.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 07.13.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier) 07.13.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier) 07.14.2007 Transaction Data Delivery (Courier) 07.14.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 07.17.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier) 07.18.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 07.22.2007 Transaction Data Delivery (Courier) 07.22.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 07.23.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier) 07.24.2007 Materials for War Preparation (Courier) 07.24.2007 Materials for War Prepartion (Courier) 07.24.2007 A Special Delivery (Courier)
If my streak of 14 courier storylines in a row is just bad luck, thats pretty harsh.

its not all bad luck since the bold courier missions give the same % increase as a combat mission. 8.0% base iirc.
but yea, i havent had a kill storyline mission in ages. just those worthless trade x amount of minerals for an implant .
i wish i could tell my agent - "im not looking for bloody implants! give me stuff to kill so my standings go up faster ya idiot"
