I know that CCP changed the way missions are done a while back. Something about more basic groups, the way rewards are calculated and so fourth.

I want to get back into missions after years of neglecting the PVE side of the game but I need someone to explain to me how missions are figured out now and what changes were made.


Thanks to anyone who replies with constructive answers!

Basically they simplified the mission groupings. Security is combat, distribution is courier, mining is mining, research is research.

There is no longer a quality to the agent; all level 4 agents are quality 20 now. Your pay is determined by the security status of the system, thus .5 is better than a .8 system. I believe you get higher quality missions the higher your standings are but i have nothing to back this up.

Remember that you can now see the available agents and where they are located in-game by using the People and Places - Agents - Agent Finder tool. Set the Faction or Corp you are working for and off you go.

I believe that you need standings of 3.0+ for level 3s and 5.0+ for level 4 agents and it works off the highest of your racial faction, the agents' corporation or the standing with the agent themselves.

Security agents give bigger standings boosts generally than, say, Distribution agents but their missions can take longer to complete.

Faction wide, you do not need 3.0 for level 3 missions. I was at a 2.06 for Amarr, and maybe lower, the other day and had access to at least some Level 3 security missions for Amarr.

If you look at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Agent#Agent_Levels you will see that 3.0 is needed to unlock level 3 agents. If is probable that you already had the standings you needed from the Corp itself.

You're obviously not too lazy to post, unfortunately.
