These implant missions are from what i found to be corperation based so that if you been working for an agent that hasn't been dropping them then when you switch to a better agent that does give out the courier implant mission he will give it out much sooner based on your previous work.

Its the same for my agents with Fed Navy, Egonics, FedMart and Fed Customs.......grrrrrrrrrrr

Ive been working for an Admin Agent (Carthum Conglom, Mesghoh) for some time which was always predominantly courier, thougth recently he has a few more kill mission frequency, still is around 75% courier. However I have done 150 missions total with no implant, when previously I had an average of around 40 missions per implant (racked up 8 implants before the patch). I am talking about standard missions.... I am aware of the IP formula but I still worked out the averages for implants based on total number of missions done regardless of IP or not.
Previously my greatest record for implants was 80 missions and that was way more than the average. Now this is almost twice as many with no sign of an implant in sight - and this is a courier agent. :/

I received a Willpower Implant from Core Complexion today. It only took a total of 14 level 3 missions. It was the 2nd Important mission I ran for him. My agent is a Level 3 Qual -19.

 9.70 agent standings, 9,80 federation navy standing, more than 300 missions after the patch, no implant. i get an important mission every 4 or 5 missions, the most of them are killing and some time important trade or mining.

I will say this. Implants for courier mission agents are not going down even though we are getting them thru IM. The issue is not really kill mission bug but the drop rate anyway. Papa have made the pure balance of implants a success. This is as it should be.
Lets make a cartel and not set any sell price to any implant less than 20mil isk.... Power in numbers. Most players getting implants have been playing awhile, why not just put this to use. Who is with me? |

Ive done a lot of missions for a level 1 gallente agent. my rating wit the federation navy has gone up to 2.00 but i also have connections at level 4
now i still cant use the level 2 agent
and how do u guys get implants i have never been offered one
Well until a few weeks ago i could only use lvl1 agents, i had 0.9 standing with fed navy, then i found a low quality lvl2 agent, which i could use. I now have 5.7 fed navy standing... and i havent done a great deal of missions.
If your near Oulley, there is 1x lvl2 and 1x lvl3 agents there, low quality so you dont need uber high standings to use them. Although that system is sometimes camped by $random rats (0.3sec). Once you get your standings up using the low quality agents you can move up the ladder and this is much faster than trying to work lvl1 agent missions until you can use a high quality lvl2 agent etc.. |

Try doing 324 missions for 7 days and getting no implant.
Try going 4 weeks without one...
This is completely FUBAR, I just hope it doesn't take yet another 4 weeks for my next one :(

Last patch had a new method for choosing between what missions an agent dishes out, which also affected important missions. The algorithm would make it more likely f.ex. to get an important kill mission from an agent that is more likely to give normal kill missions.
Alas, the darn implants are only dished out from a courier mission, so kill mission agents will have reduced implant counts until this has been fixed. Zrakor's going to add some non-courier important implant mission to counter this.
No, I don't know when it'll hit TQ, but probably no later than next patch.
Finaly an explanation .. that explains why it took me over 50 important missions from my Fed Navy agent before getting an implant at last.
The agent only has 5 important mission templates so there should be a 20% chance that an important mission will be the implant mission.
However the agent gives about 90% kill missions so that's a 10% chance of getting one of the 3 important missions that arn't kill missions. That means there is only a 1 in 30 chance of getting the implant mission as an important mission. If it's more like 95% kill missions (not sure what the exact percentage is) then it would only be 1 in 60 important missions.
Although I am concerned that one of the 3 important missions that isn't a kill mission, it's another courier mission, seems to come up much too frequently. I've been know to get the mission about 3 times in a row and others have reported similar behaviour.

I've noticed this also, which is why I think something else is messed up since the patch. I've done "Important supplies for the HQ" 4 times since my last implant. What are the chances that out of 5 important missions, I would get HQ 4 times and the implant one 0 times? My agent is in Administration, so I get 75% courier missions.

Heh heh, I hate courier missions.
At least I know why I haven't had an implant for over a month when my courier corpmates get them alot more often. I would hope to see this fixed soon, it isn't exactly fair (or so I think). Thanks for the explanation, good to know.

nothing at all in a large number of missions
all my important missions are cash rewards
in fact every mission i do is cash/cash
has been that way since the last 2 patches
i think i have had 15-20 important missions
all have been for cash

All the courier agent 3's I have worked for have given implants. I have now been working with the Republic Security Service agent doing 90-95% kill missions, have done a number of important missions but never had a sniff of an implant yet. I really want to get this implant (as it's perception) before moving to another agent. I've done so many missions for this guy that I have built up enough standing to use any agent from any Minmatar corp now and this guy is just qual 7 (effective qual 17).

Well, doing kill missions at the moment, you will likely spend a good month doing missions before you even think of getting one. Yuo can ONLY get them from important courier missions atm. So doing missions for a kill agent is the slowest possible way to get an implant from a corp at the moment. Hope they fix this next patch.
