Five of the best Amarr agents in the same system in the same station. This is, I am told by the debugging team an 'intended game feature.' could somebody from CCP enlighten me as to what purpose this serves?

For starters Yahyerer is a .2, okay nothing special there no risk no reward blah blah blah.
so say Alliance X or corp Z decides to set up shop there because of the nice agents and heavily tax or shoot everybody they don't like or want there.
You can't even move to another system with a Quality 20 agent because as far as I can tell, they're all in that one system. In short, from the looks of it you'd be out of business and have to go grind another faction.
Just doesn't seem very smart, a high standing Amarr pilot would go straight to Caldari space and it's already over crowded as it is.

Wait, so you're saying that because you can't use five of the SEVENTY SIX L4Q20 Amarr agents, Amarr are broken? Please for the love of God come up with a better Amarr whine next time, okay? ---

uh, no that would be you getting hostile and defensive for what you imagine I said.
I said there were five L4Q20 agents in one single system, and that seemed like a problem. I asked what the devs had in mind when they placed said five agents in the same system in the same station. You have a pretty low standard for "whine". That was mildly critical at best.
Okay; there are, allegedly seventy six L4Q20 Amarr agents. Under the Imp Navy I'm seeing exactly seven of them. Of those seven five are in the exact same location. If your standing is with the Navy, is it hard to comprehend why this might be an issue?
Why does it strike you as so completely unreasonable, much less engrage you, that somebody might find that odd? There's one level four Caldari Agent in Aramachi, and one in Motsu and a few more a bunch of other places; but they are distributed more or less evenly through Caldari space. Now If there were FIVE of them in Aramachi I might question the utility of five agents for the same faction of the same level in the same place the exact way I'm questioning it with the Amarr now.
This has nothing to do with the Amarr, it has everything to do with those five agents. It would seem like a better use of them to put four of them somewhere else rather then having them clustered together in that one system.

It is an attempt to create low sec hub and have ppl move there, if you look around there are a lot of systems set up this way.

There are lots of high quality Gallente agents in the same lo sec systems as well.
CCP put them there on purpose.I don't know why.Perhaps CCP thought having 1 decent hisec lvl4 agent for FNA in Dodixie(number of pilots in space at this time 335)and the rest in losec Uphallant(Number of pilots in space 11)was a 'good' idea?
Looking at the figures above suggests it isn't encouraging more people into losec(If that's the reason for putting them there)or working as they intended.
I don't care as to the logic behind agent placement in this game because there is more than 1 corp to run missions for but my opinion is CCP didn't put much or any thought behind it.

I understand the "push to low sec" thing. But if you have a single agent that can be run by multiple individuals why do you need five programs (fundamentally) doing the same thing when you could have four more systems? Aramachi has like 1 and that's a mission running hub; so are Motsu and Isenaros. So if that's the objective why not split them up and distribute them in similar "border towns" to help draw people into low-sec? That way if I get chased out or want to leave one of them I at least have somewhere else to go.
Maybe there's a technical reason for it but at the moment it makes no sense to me.

Edited by: MasterTao on 14/11/2007 19:56:18 having multiple agents in the same station essentially allow you to choose the missions you like and decline others. Which is a big +++ when it comes to low sec missioning.

Okay, THAT makes sense. Thanks.
