I've just recently set up some R&D agents. I have a couple questions.

1. Once a day I get a notification from each R&D agent. It reads 'Our research has been fruitful, but I've encountered a snag and our research has been halted. Please contact me as soon as possible.' Do I stop gaining research points until I complete the mission or is this just an incredibly poor choice in wording?

2. Upon first setting up the agents, I was getting 89.xx in research points a day. After doing a few missions it's now 90.45. Will this continue to increase or will it become static?

I've never had the research stop upon receiving the mails, I only get them when I convo the agent, though tbh I don't do the missions I just idly let the RP rack up till I decide to cash them in.

And yes it will increase with standing, but only to a certain point then it'll plateau, I believe skill level increases give an equal if not better return.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Hardly worth the effort now. 2 weeks of skill training, 50 million in skill books and 20 hours of reputation grinding for about 10 million a week in passive income. The time and money investment is debatable.

Yeah, would have been better spent training for 3 days and joining FW, though you might be late to that party too.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
