Do R&D Agents still work? Or were they replaced?

Tried finding one anywhere and nothing shows up on the agent finder. Did they removed R&D agents?

Worked fine for me looking through agent finder. Might wanna check your options.

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

nothing has changed with them in a while. I would imagine removing those would have been in a dev blog

You still get research points from them, and they still sell datacores. The change several months ago changes the RP costs of many datacores, and there is now a 10,000 isk charge per datacore.

Which, combined with the fact that datacores now come from FW LP stores as well, adds up to research agents being all but entirely worthless. Unless you somehow consider 4.7mil ISK/month/agent worthwhile (you shouldn't).

But whatever, I still have 8 agents running. Because, hey, it's passive income, and it's more trouble to shut it all down now.

Yeah they work but they are more or less useless at the moment.

I just hope CCP won't remove them completely or I have spend months on training skills that would be useless which means I would want my skillpoints back into something else.
