An idea came up in the mining channel while we ware talking about mining agents. Someone asked why you should run missions for them and we gave few reasons. than I though "fleet issue Industrial ships and maybe freighters would be a great incentive to use those agents".
Maybe spice it up with some mining laser upgrades, mining lasers or even crystals.
I know that when you buy a fleet issue frigate based off a mining ship it's all combat. how about a reverse of that. buy a faction BS set up for mining instead?

there's probably better ideas that could be included, but i haven't had my coffee yet so my brain isn't working right.

That's... actually a clever idea.

I keep hearing about rokh happy miners, so we know the target audience is there.

Aren't LP rewards determined per corporation and not agent type? Is it even possible to do this?

There is a general need for some tweaks and upgrades to missioning imho..

Mining and Distribution agents really need some sort of boost. The suggestion about items is very nice, but I think a general focus towards industrialists and "carebears" is what is needed.

It seems like ccp policy is shooting stuff is good, replenishing it is meh..

With some better catering and features to the industrialists and logistics crowd, maybe the items needed to blow things up would reduce in price and more incentives to partake in pvp and FW etc might arise..

Something like this could be given out as BPCs for higher level mining missions for example. So not through the LP store.
