Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.09.19 03:11:00 - [1] 1. Say that I am only going to use a research agent to passively aquire research points, is there any point to leveling the required research skills beyond level 1? I read that it matters if you intend to do missions for the research agent but my current plan doesnt see that happening so I want to know if leveling the skill past level 1 affects the dayly aculimation of RP. 2. Even if the agent has multiple research options you can only research one option at a time, so do you need to research all of the research skills of that particular agent or just the one option your interested in? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
Sandeep	Posted - 2008.09.19 03:18:00 - [2] 1. Your science skill level affects the RP/day. 2. Just the one you are interested in.
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.09.19 03:22:00 - [3] 3. Is there a way to calculate how many RP's you will get per day passively before going threw the revelant training? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
Baka Lakadaka Gallente Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2008.09.19 03:45:00 - [4] 1. As stated, more RP per day => more datacores. 2. You only need the one skill for your area of research, but it can be worth training the others so that you can adapt to market conditions and/or your invention requirements. i.e. today might be gallentean Starship engineering in demand, tomorrow it might be electron physics. Having options never hurts. 3. Yes there's a formula somewhere, but I can't seem to find it right now. Try a google search. It's been posted here a number of times. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back? Agony Unleashed Home of the PvP University. Now Recruiting.
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.09.19 04:15:00 - [5] Okay final question (I think), what does Hypernet Science do? One of the agents im interested in has it listed but when I check there doesnt seem to be a datacore assossiated with it. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

Try a google search. It's been posted here a number of times. if it hasn't changed, it's: RpPerDay = ((AgentSkill + YourSkill)^2 * (1 + (EffectiveQuality / 100))) * AreaBonus * RpPerDay: How many research points you get in 24 hours. * AgentSkill: The agents level (Range from 0 to 4, not sure if there are level 5 research agents) * YourSkill: The level you have the required science skill trained to for this agent/field (ex. Graviton Physics) * EffectiveQuality: The quality of the agent (Range from -20 to 20). Note: this is after your skills are added, so it is possible to get above 20. * AreaBonus: Depends on the research field. Most fields have a modifier of 1, weapon related research is 2, and ship research is 3. LetÆs look at an example: * AgentLevel = 3 * YourSkill = 4 * EffectiveQuality = 5 * AreaBonus = 1 RpPerDay = ( ( AgentLevel + YourSkill )^2 * ( 1 + ( EffectiveQuality / 100 ) ) ) * AreaBonus = (( 3 + 4 )^2 * ( 1 + ( 5 / 100 ) ) ) * 1 = ( 7^2 * ( 1 + 0.05 ) ) * 1 = ( 49 * 1.05 ) * 1 RpPerDay = 51.45 This message came from the Minmatar Messiah, accept no imitations Pesky LaRue, Minmatar Messiah Bringing Salvation To Your System Soon! ++ PRAY FOR PESKY ++

Baka Lakadaka Gallente Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2008.09.19 05:01:00 - [8] Originally by: Jacob Mei Okay final question (I think), what does Hypernet Science do? One of the agents im interested in has it listed but when I check there doesnt seem to be a datacore assossiated with it. I don't think it does anything - it's description includes hacking, codebreakers and parasites. It might be for future expansion. It doesn't appear to open any new skills or enable any items. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back? Agony Unleashed Home of the PvP University. Now Recruiting.

Baka Lakadaka Gallente Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2008.09.19 05:10:00 - [10] Doing a mission for the agent simply doubles the RP for that day. I usually leave them alone, but if I feel like it, I might run a mission on datacore collection day, just to get an extra datacore or two. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back?
