When you decline more than 1 mission offer from the same Agent within a 4 hour time period, you get a reduction in Agent and Corporation standing. That can be offset a bit by training up Connections skill. However, that is a short term remedy. Usually the best thing to do is just access another Agent and wait for the timer to expire.
Train up Social skill to increase the amount of standing gained for completing missions and train up Negotiation skill to increase the amount of reward gained as well as increase Agent Effective Standing. As that standing goes up, that agent will offer more and more of the same type of missions that were previously accepted and completed by the player.
I think Faction standings also play an important part. It seems that negative Faction standings listed in the character sheet of the player forms the base pool from which the encounter missions are offered.
From my experience this is what I believe dictates the type of encounter missions being offered from agents. I have over +5.00 standing with almost all Empire Factions and rarely ever get offered any Anti-Empire Faction encounter missions. The only time I do get offered Anti-Empire encounters is when I start with a new agent and I always decline those. After the Agent Effective standing increases, those type of missions are rarely offered.
I have no proof or graph to show. The above is purely conjecture based on my own personal experience from viewing my standings and transaction logs. I will say it seems the Gallente Faction tends to offer a higher percentage of Anti-Empire Faction encounter missions compared to the other Empire Factions. |

Well no sadly, nothing impacts which missions you get, randomness will be random. However you are correct that faction standings are very important, once these are high you can deny any mission you want. The penelty to Faction standing for denying a mission is so extremely small its barely worth mentioning. So once you are there you can just do the missions you want.
Sorry, nothing random about the mission types I get. The only time I ever get offered Anti-Empire missions is when I start working a new agent in a new corp. I only get offered a few Anti-Empire missions which I always decline and within a very short time period, I don't get offered those mission types anymore.
I still stand by my original statement. |

I often got stuck (2 anti-faction missions within 4 hours) on both of them. It's hard to believe standings have anything to do with which missions you get.
I currently mission in Penirgman for Ministry of Internal Order (standing is 10.0). There is only one level 4 agent here but she seems to give me far less anti-faction mission than the guys at Ivar. I rarely (but not never) get stuck here. It seems to me that some agents just have lots of anti-faction missions in their mission pool, while some don't.
I was talking about Faction standings, not Corporation.

agent standings override faction standigns once it hits -2.0 or worse.
you can deny all the missions you want but you will take standing hits with your agent and eventually hit standings so bad you wont ever work for him again
If you're talking about a level 1 agent, then yes since level 1 agents are available regardless of Faction and Corporation standing. However, if that agent standing drops to -2.00 or lower, you won't have access to that level 1 agent.

I get rich as **** off you dudes sell ya'll tags etc... So that we can move freely around empire without getting shot at. Well that's why I decline them anyway... to run missiosn for another faction? or just coz you might need to move space oneday? I my self have -10.0 to gaylante and gaytar. yet i can fix that in one whole day two tops if i am short on time. I have access tot he highsec soe lvl 4 agent.
Not everyone wants or buys those tags.
As for repairing that -10.00 Faction standing within 1 maybe 2 days, very doubtful. After training Diplomacy lv 5, that -10.00 Faction standing would be at -6.00 standing. Training that skill will take longer than 1 maybe 2 days. After that it will take a few rounds of 16 regular missions plus storyline from SoE lv 4 agent for derived standing increase to get it up above -5.00 Faction standing.
Definitely will take longer than 1 maybe 2 days to repair -10.00 Faction standing. |
