Right... I just spent two days working a level II agent, who enjoyed giving me Caldari Shuttle blueprints. Why are these given out as a reward? They're worthless, no-one in their right mind wants to build shuttles - more infuriating is the fact that I had three of them yesterday. Three useless stupid Caldari Shuttle blueprints. At least with the small ammo, I can do something with them...
Now I've moved up to a level 3 agent. His most recent bonus reward for a completed mission?
TWO CALDARI SHUTTLE BLUEPRINTS.
WHY.
Please update the crap agents hand out, this really stopped being funny after the second BP.

36! Civ shield booster blueprints.
18 Gallente shuttles.
Enough civ shield boosters to build a little fort out of.
Generally, the good and the bad seem to balance out eventually.

Agents give out 5 types of bonuses it seems:
Items from the list of items the corporation sells
Tech 2 components or tools
Tech 2 skill packs
Isk
Implants
Pre castor I had the different ratios fairly well figured, the first 4 seemed to be of roughly equal chance and implants had an equal chance each important mission.
Post last patch the chances of the different ones seem to have been tweaked, I have only done missions for a combat oriented corp and it seems they give out alot less tech 2 components but this is mere speculation on my side.
As for the item rewards they have always ben utterly useless or fairly usefull, never really good, lately I have been getting 4 small armour repairers I or 12 standard launchers I, not really what one would expect for doing missions for one of the top ranked lev 3 agents in the corporation but...
Hopefully there is merely a small glitch in the rewards atm that will be fixed and all will be fine again. If not I will have to start looking for the corporation that gives out more components, one of the main reasons I do missions is to get the components.

I'm getting HEAPS of small charge blueprints. I have no idea what to do with them, as they are utterly useless. I mean, they sell for two-digit sums on the market. Sure, I guess they are nice as a bonus-thingamajig when you don't have any and you're running around in your frigate, but when you have 20+ of the very same BP and are doing lvl 3 agent missions, its just damn silly.
Another damn annoying reward is consumer electronics. They don't sell for that much, and they take a LOT of space. A LOT!! Damn ankward to get rid of.
Give me hard cash any day.

Hard to say what the most worthless bonus is... i have had all the worthless ones it seems from piles of small ammo bps to the the ME0 cruiser bp to tons of shuttles and shuttle bp but I think the bonus tonight takes the cake ... 9500 units of garbage as bonus? I know they all got resale value but still garbage? <sigh>

*Chuckles*
What did your agent say?
"As a token of my apreciation on your fine job here's something I think you are."
[You recieve 9,000 M3 of garbage]
*Chuckles*
That's just wrong.
Never forget, a Jack-of-all-trades is master of none. |

I usually get crap BP's but I finally got one that isn't as bad.
I just got a Griffen BPO from Lai Dai :-) I know its just a frig, but hey, thats kinda cool.
Spelling corrections welcome, but don't expect me to edit my post. |

i've gotten at least a hundred cargo containers of every size, secure and non-secure. 100's of 125mm gatling guns. a few microwave crystals, tech 2 components. but nothing else than that. right now i'd kill for a shuttle bp from my agent. it'd break the monotonity

It would be nice if the occasional ship BP the agents handed out were actually useful, 1 run copies are reasonably fair I guess but ME0 just makes them pointless, maybe they should be adjusted to ME5-10.

None of the rewards mentioned here are as pointless as the receipt of 5 units of Spaceship Command. This is a skill that everybody starts with (I assume this due to the fact that you can only fly a shuttle without this skill) so it has no resaleable value at all!!

Like Demos said, multiple shuttles at a station without reprocessing is always nice. Another favourite has to be those 1-run ME:0 BPCs (I have both Thorax, Celestis and Tristan. Any buyer out there?)

All I've been getting lately is isk...
Level 3 agent never gives out a damn thing. Oh wait, the other day I got 1 medium shield booster.
There's something seriously the matter with agent mission rewards, IMHO.

Okay, this has officially crossed into the ridiculous. I now have 8 Caldari Shuttle blueprints, a load of frozen food and water, things I can't turn into money - please, if anyone important is reading: ENOUGH OF THE USELESS AGENT MISSION REWARDS.
- If it can't be reprocessed, don't give it out.
- If giving out dozens of copies of it will saturate the market and make the prize useless, don't give it out.
I hear stories of people with over a hundred of those goddamn shuttle blueprints.

What's bugging me about agent missions, is the lack of any kind of consistancy. I was working for a level 3 quality -8 agent for a few days and getting important implant drop missions every 5 or so enquiries.
Having built up my standing enough, I thought it was time to talk to a quality 18 agent (effective quality 34) - the highest level 3 agent available in my chosen corp. Immediately, I started getting poor mission after poor mission - I'm not just talking about bad bonuses, I mean 50 -60k payments, 8 jump hauling missions etc. My standing with this agent is now higher than the agent I was previously working for and i'm still getting garbage missions both figuratively and actually.
Both agents are in the same division, yet the quality 18 is clearly far worse than the -8. Frustrating.
P.S. I currently have 156 Gallente shuttle BP's.

My most recent Agent running netted me:
27 R.A.M's of different types
3 Phalanx Rocket BPO
3 Gremlin Rocket BPO
4 Rocket Launcher BPO.
I guess there's balance there... Not much variety... But balance....

I hate it when my lvl 3 agent says he will give me a 'special reward' which turns out (after three of them) to be 1 run me0 ship bpcs, vexor, thorax and incursis so far.... I mean WOW!... that is really..... "special"... but not in a good way. Your doing level 3 missions so you already had a cruiser long ago, so u dont want to build one for yourself, and because they are me0 they are completely worthless to anyone in fact. So really this reward is worse than the lowest cash some your level 3 agent might ever hand you. Now if they had been BS bpc's then that would have been a little more interesting... but then again me0....

Heh, my agents do seem to give out some tat on occasion, although they give some good stuff too. However the best IÆve seen was a company that managed to offload first of all several hundred minmatar shuttles on to one of our corp members. Then when he got to a level 3 agent he started picking up the really good stuff û toxic waste û thousands of units of the stuff |

The 'Reports to the CEO' mission is just so annoying, cos u dont get it till u have done a lot of missions, and it SOUNDS* like its really good what with the promise of a 'special' reward. Just got 1 runner ME0 tristan bpc.... so that would make the missions actually a LOT WORSE than any of the others.

Wish we could decline bonuses to increase our chances at getting something we really want...or instead of getting just one flat reward, give us the choice of three different rewards (I will take curtain number three Monty...)

The processing skills are probably worth a total of about 5 million, even if you don't want them yourself. if you don't, can I have 1 of each of the plag and omber ones?
