Help on Agents:
The following is based on just my opinion and the stuff I've read:
To quickly set waypoints for missions, open your People and Places, goto the Places tab and left click
on the heading "Agent Missions". You can then right click on the destination to set the waypoint. Same goes for the Agents base location that is also in that list.
Agents: Different types of agents are found in different stations around the universe. Although you
wont be able to speak to everyone first (it depends on your "Standing", see below).
When you find an agent you can speak to, as you work for them your standing with their corporations
go up, opening up chances to speak to other agents in other stations.
Completing missions:
1) "kill" missions; Always look for and use any acceleration gate in the vacinity of drones / pirates
you have been killing, it will take you to the next stage.
2) Some missions need you to blow up a building as well.....read the details in your journal.
2) Courier missions: These will require you to get to the destination with the goods and then start a
converation with the agent (from the list on the right) when you have docked in order to complete the mission.
3) Always check the details of a mission in your Jounal. It will tell you exactly what you need to do
to complete the mission.
Locating Agents:
Only the first few agents in the game are linear in progression, after that start checking your F10
map and adjust its settings to find other agents to speak to.
Agent Levels: Ignore the urge of wanting to speak to level 2 agents at the start....the level 1 agents
will give good rewards (quality 18 agents can give 78k rewards with 78k bonus). I think the top level agents are level 4. So you can imagine, theres a big jump between levels. To speak to level 2 agents you need about "1.5" standing with the corporations i think.
Standings: not to be confused with quality level of an agent (see below). Think of it as reputation
points. You start at something like 0.0 and work up slowly. The more missions you do will gain you standing not only with that agent but with his/her corporation. check the "Agent info" tab on an agent and it will tell you how much corporation standing YOU need to have with that agents corporation in order to speak to him / her.
Quality levels of agents: agents have different quality ratings (e.g. -18 to +20 ish). The higher the
quality rating, the better the rewards, but the more difficult the missions may be.
Loyality points: These only apply to the particular agent you are speaking to. They dont transfer
between agents. frequently you will be sent an evemail by the agent, making you an offer to trade them in for money / items. check the Offers section in your journal.
Storyline agents: periodically you will come across Storyline agents. These give better rewards and
items.
