Currently, when you decline too many offered missions from a certain faction you take standing hits.
This is really annoying, because you ask what mission they have, just to see if it might be worth doing. And it ends out being crappy or something that really isn't worth it. So you decline, you repeat this process with another npc same faction but take a standing hit.
And you can't even let the offer expire, because you'd also take a standing hit if you let too many same-faction missions expire at once.
It would be nice if offered missions could be turned down on demand so you can get to good missions without having to take standing hits. Or, have a small new window for details on missions NPCs need doing, so you can check what the mission is before you accept.
Or best yet. Have the same window, but have multiple missions you can choose from the same NPC and pick one to do.
(This would exclude storyline, and important storyline missions)

Part of the reason you cannot just keep turning down missions is that people would just cherry pick the best missions. This is be design otherwise CCP could just as well as let you pick the mission you want to do.
Also you can turn down 1 mission every 4 hours without taking a standing hit.

Oh, so basically you want to make a shitload of money from empire carebearing (missions) AND not have ANY disadvantage to refusing them?
NO!
Damn carebears...

maybe reduce penalties if you let it expire, since your blocking yourself from doing missions with that agent for 7 days.

This is no need. If you reject a mission form a agent you only have to wait 4 hours till you can reject another without a standings hit.

I would vote YES on the initiative to remove every mission but the blockade, but then i remembered I hate carebears.

I can only assume you don't have a clue how missions actually work.
First, as has been mentioned, you can refuse a mission once every four hours per agent. This means if you find a system with 20 agents in it, you can refuse 20 missions every 4 hours.
Secondly, if you find you have run out of missions at an agent, don't accept the mission. Just go do something else for 4 hours. Then, when you come back, you can drop it as necessary.
I would like to see some sort of range of options, however. Give me a choice of 10 missions, and only change any of them when I complete one - that way I don't get to cherry pick, and I'll still be forced to take crappy missions, even courier ones ffs, because that would eventually fill out the list.
Or, which is a nice idea, pay the agent to refresh the list, but pay with LP. Yes, a certain amount of cherry picking, but if it costs 50k LP to refresh the list, that's still 10 missions you'd have to do to pay for another refresh.

It would be nice if we could "customize" our agent. Tell him what kind of missions we don't like.
Of course, he'd reduce our pay for that(less LP, perhaps?), but it would save me the annoyance of turning down any (law-abiding) faction-related mission.
After all, some agents of mine seem excited whenever I come into their office. You'd think they'd gladly do me that little favor...

Just go to an agent whose division suits you best, there are so many divisions that you will likely find the right fit sooner or later.

I would have to say no. Agents assign missions randomly - if we want to cherry-pick them, we could just ask for a combo box.
I have quite a simple system - I only ever take one mission at a time, get it done, move onto the next. Boring perhaps but I've only once ever had to take a standings hit, and that was by choice because I'd rather lose 0.2% with Corp A than lose a whole load with Faction A because the mission has me kill their ships.
Variety is the spice of life (hint to CCP: I'd prefer not getting the same damn mission 4 times in a row).

There is one way to get around turning down agent offers. You must have a state standing high enough to supercede what the agent required corp standing is. For instance, if you have a agent that requires a 6.9 standing with corp and you have say a 7.1 with state then you have no worries. I have been cherry picking if you will for a long time. Only 1 time I turned down so many missions that the agent would't let me get a mission because I dropped below .02 or something with the corp. I have been doing this for over a year and it only happened 1 time...so not that big of a problem. If you see your corp standings get below 1.0 or something then just take a few crappy ones to get caught back up.
Only bad part about this is you have to have an 8.0 standing with the corp for jump clones. you should probably get 1 corp to 8.0 so you can have access to those if you need.

Hrmmm I play from work from time to time, so afk for 3 or 4 min at a time, was looking to do some courier missions in order to still increase rep with a corp, so found myself a nice station with like 5 or 6 Level 2 agents all marketing, some mainly Courier Missions, normally, but they decided to all give me combat missions :(
