How do you do multiple offered mission at once?

- What are the advantage of taking on multiple missions from a station with different security level agents?
- How do pilots figure out how to select missions from different station agents and cross run their missions?

I see many pilots getting offered multiple missions at once. Personally, I feel like I can only do one mission at the time.
If I run out of time, my standings would go down because I could not accept the offered missions in due time.

Thx, DEFIER.

Chaining saves travel time. That's about it.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with agents lower than lvl4.

As for bonus time limit, it gives you hours, no way to miss it unless you just log.

Guess it could give you an option of choice since some missions are long and some are short. Be handy for the 4 hr cool down timer after declining an agent's mission.

It's very useful for running Distribution missions. Industrial ship doing drop offs and pick ups at various stations. The actual game play would be setting up / plotting a route to complete all active missions (within the bonus time period) as efficiently and quickly as possible to multiple areas / systems via the star map, always picking up more active missions while en-route continuing the cycle of completing and starting missions, making changes to route / completing missions when needed in order to maintain efficiency for both quickest time and shortest route, etc.

EDIT:

For Security or Mining missions, probably better to not have a bunch of them all active at same time.

There used to be a lot of systems that had multiple L4 agents in them
Then CCP changed missioning and manysome agents got moved/deleted

There still ARE some systems that have 2-3 L4 agents in them in hisec, though losec seems to have a higher concentration of them.
Mostly they are 1-3 jumps away from losec however, which brings it's own dilemna to the question What?
Use the [Agent Finder] and System Information:[Adjacent Systems] together to get a list of the 20ish or so places where Hisec locales coincide with multiple L4 agents (it is offhand slightly Caldari Space biased ... go figure)



actually doing once you've found them.
there are 2 values for completion time -->
a time limit for a "Bonus Payment" usually 1-6 hours
a time limit for completion usually 6 days (ish)

each is paid as a seperate entry into your wallet providing it's criteria is met when you tell the agent [mission complete]
so if you have 2 missions and get them both done inside the 'bonus' time period you'll get 4 payments
