Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The idea is a rank 3 social skill that increases the range by which you can interact with you agent, in the same way that skills like scientific networking etc allow you to do stuff remotely.

Level 1 would be the same solar system, and then each level would be +5 and level 5 would be full regional coverage.

The docking / undocking mechanism would still remain for missions such as the damsel in distress where there is an item that has to be handed in. The systems sent to would remain ones close to the agent (ie the systems you get now if you go see him) so you cannot do l5 missions in high sec etc. Basically everything would stay the same as it is now, except you could interact remotely.

I think it would encourage more people to try low and null sec missioning. I think it would remove small annoyances (like undocking and forgetting to accept the mission etc), which would encourage retention at the newer player end of the market. It would also enable people to see the sorts of rewards there are to be had without going to the agent and thus lead to people spreading out rather than sticking to the one agent.

It's a small change that could add a lot of advantages, and I'm not really seeing any disadvantages.
