I decided to start doing these so I could try invention. I set up 2 agents with the two skills I needed and went on my merry way. Some hours later they both sent me a notification that they encountered a snag and to come see them. I haven't had a chance to go outside my WH today so I dunno what the deal is. Are they supposed to wimp out and force your to baby sit them?

Iirc they offer you sort of daily missions, easy couriers or the likes in exchange for extra rp. No need to do them at all, but you'lll get more datacores if you do :)

Doesn't the personal standings of an agent effect the rp amoun / day?
This is just a rumor I have heard and I have not had the time to test it actualy.

Thanks for the replies. Also where do I go to spend my RP on datacores?

To the agent. You can buy the datacores from him / her and him / her alone.

Forget the daily missions, it's not worth the trip.

They dailies do count towards your storyline count though. So if you are working on your standings, in that case it might be worth doing it as it potentially is faster than doing actual missions.

I ment the personal standings between the character and agent. Not the standings between character and corporations.

Tough I'm not sure does it effect the RP amounts but I'm going to find that out at some point.
