I Have currently been using 2 lvl 3 Caldari Navy Agents in Nourvukaiken, I have a 6.1 standing with the caldari navy, and ive gotten over 15 important kill missions from them(probally way more)... Not one has resulted in an implant... Is it because im using both agents at the same time? Or is there some kind of trick to getting an implant in an important mission?

Which part of "random" don't you understand? Is that an achiever type syndrome?
The trick is patience - and the even better trick is to play the game because you enjoy it rather than to get items x, y and z by tricking game mechanics into releasing them to you.

Papa Smurf once wrote that running multiple agents at the same time reduces the chances of implants.
But Navy agents in particular seem very unwilling to hand out implants at all, so your best bet might be to switch to a different corp.

I got to 9.95 with my agent (lvl 2, federal Intelligence Office, quality 17 or so), and done around 50 important missions since the patch that introduced implants for lvl 2 agents, with zero implants.
I switched to an Amarr Navy agent (quality -16 or so) and got a +1 implant from a lootcan on the 3rd mission, a +2 implant on the 1st important mission, a +2 implant on the second important mission and a +2 implant on the 3rd important mission...
go figure
this system is inconsistent as h*ll

Not every agent will give an implant. I have a mess of agents (over 30 i run for) and only a handful actually give implants.
The missions they offer are set when you first talk to him , and no way to change. Another player may have same agent and get different set of missions. Implants are rewards , not a guarantee.
Your Mega Afocal Pulse Maser I perfectly strikes Asteroid (Veldspar) [R0ME], wrecking for 798.3 damage.
Your 425mm Railgun I perfectly strikes Guardian Captain, wrecking for 685.9 damage.

I must have been very lucky once. I got my first and only implant from a level 2 agent. And no i'm not wrong because i only had a lvl 3 available and had never wrok for him. Got a memory +2 implant.
I didn't even payed atention if the mission was important or not. And to tell you the truth i only knew it was an implant much later. At first i thought it was some kind of RAM or something, because i had never seen one and was not expecting it. |

I have concluded that running for 2 agents at the same time at the same station = No Implant.
8.50 corp standing. Countless bugs for mission distribution.
Refer to my thread:

I wouldn't run for 2 agents at the same time. It ruins the system of randomness to ever more randomness. No thanks!

So then, do I have to get new agent, or just do missions for one agent at a time?

Try running just one of the agents. If you don't get an implant for the next ~10 missions, try another corporation.

New Corporation!?!?!! bah I dont even think I can use lvl 3 agents from other corporations... I just switched to a new agent though of higher quality, hopefully that will fix things up.

Doing important missions for Caldari Navy should raise your Caldari faction standing too, and as soon as you have 5.0 faction standing, you can use all level 3 agents of all Caldari corporations. With connections skill, even earlier.

I've gotten implants from multiple agent stations. Maybe the stars were aligned just right or something. And I read the post where Papa hinted that working multiple agents would possibly lead to having longer runs of 'bad luck' between important missions. But I never understood that remark and wrote it off. The only downside I can think of is that your personal standing with individual agents rises slower that way vs working with only one agent. Otherwise, it just boils down to whether doing 2 missions for 2 agents can be done faster than 2 missions for 1 agent. If you're doing courier missions I don't think too puzzling to figure out.

I ran 4 lvl2 agents at the same time just to lvl up fast as possible, and after 3 hours I had a lvl3 q5 agent. And now, after hundreds of missions, I'm still waiting for an implant.
Got 3800 garbage as bonus
