There was a post about this in the last few weeks - unfortunately this forum is so rubbish that I cant search successfully for the post. Anyway - every time I get my Storyline mission after grinding my 16 lvl 4 missions, it is Always "Materials for War Preparation" at least this has been the case for the last 4 times or 64 lvl 4 missions! Is this really the only storyline mission at this level? or is the whole thing broken because it is becoming completely tedious - especially as the reward (1 Standard implant) is no longer the tasty prize it once was. For Christ's Sake - give us some variety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had the same thing happen with a certain storyline intelligence agent. One time, I did my 16th mission at a different hub, and got the storyline from a different agent (nearest to that hub instead of the old hub). He gave me a different mission.
I think the whole random-mission-picking code is a little broke for storyline agents, because the variety is indeed there.

In my last 10 (ten) storylines, 7(seven) were "Materials For War Preparation"
Was about to petition about this as I think is some sort of issue...
I hope they can fix this or getting standings with Fanctions will be impossible.

No matter the division, I've made only combat missions and got SEVERAL of that "storyline", I've made several couriers and got that same "storyline", I've made several R&D and got that "storyline", I've changed from region, including going to another race space and got that "storyline"... And I'm not including the math for my second account... would only double the numbers (14 in 20) or so

Just received another evemail from the storyline agent:
"Mission briefing We are escalating our production so we can increase our military strength in light of recent political upheavals in the world. Increased production requires more minerals. I want you to get eight thousand units of Kernite to one of our main production facilities. Your help will undoubtedly get a positive response from other corporate members."
With this is 8 in 11
Although my other account has received "Shipyard Theft", both working for the same agent.

I have been running Internal Security missions only - so far has been 100% kill missions.

If your "standard" mission agent is near a production sotryline agent, and you get your storyline mission from the production agent, is almost guaranteeed you get material for war preparation, with a 10% or so chance for something different.
What you do as your normal missions has no influence, what count is the division of the storyline agent, and he is the nearest storyline agent from the same empire.
So the "cure" is simple. Move to another mission agent, with a kill missions storyline agent as the nearest one.

The Storyline agent is also Internal Security. So he should be giving out predominantly kill missions shouldn't he?

Since 1 may 07 in caldari space ive got 16 lvl4 storyline missions, all materials for war preparations. My primary agent division was surveillance but i try many other agents from command/security/internal security divisions as well. My friend was doing missions to same agent in motsu like i. He got encounter storyline, ive got courier storyline. But he have lower standing to caldari than me.
Anyway after last caldari crappy storyline, i fly to amarr and do some missions. Effect? 6/8 was encounter storyline, and funniest thing is that i was doing mission to Administration agent (50% kill 50% courier). But to amarr i was having only 5.0 standing, and to caldari now almost 9.3
In my opinion if you have faction standing >8 you get only courier/mining storyline even if you do only kill mission in command agent. If you have lower faction standing you get encounter storylines.
Also im thinking that ccp doing this in purpose, because they dont want to have people with high faction standing like 9.7 or 9.8

Honestly, I think it's just the luck of the draw. I got Shipyard theft for the first time ever on Friday night. Last night I got Materials for War. The time before that it was A Case of Kidnapping. ------------

You are still lucky, i dont even get these storyline. Moving 40km3 containers gives far better standing increase than typical mining storyline (10k omber) or courier with 1m3 item.

I wouldn't be ****ed about it if the standings increase wasn't so insignificant. You could do five Materials for War Preparation storylines above 9.0 standing and not have your effective standing go up a tenth of a point. At least Transaction Data Delivery and A Special Delivery are worth it.

People keep saying what divisions they are running missions for... but I thought that made zero difference for a storyline. isn't the storyline you get based on the division of the agent who GIVES the storyline itself?
Storylines are given to the closest storyline agent to the agent you are working for... so doing all kill missions wont necessarily give u a kill storyline unless a security storyline is the closest... at least that's how I thought it worked.
