seems more and more like a bug, too bad there's so many different (official) statements regarding the standings requirement out there.

i found some Ammatar Datacenter Agents i haven't talked to yet and stumbled across a shipyard theft mission, still not working.

Edit:
GM helped me out, now i have the mission in my journal.

Should have escalated petition to Senior GM and added links to various Dev blogs, patch notes and forum threads pertaining to the issue along with filing a Bug Report when no access was granted at above +5.00 modified standing..

Those agents are just regular Cosmos agents, not special like the Faction ship offers. Since all the Cosmos agents can only be accessed once per character, I don't see how they can be easily farmed.

http://www.eveonline.com/updates/patchnotes.asp?newpatchlogID=2891 (Incursion 1.5 patch notes - May 19, 2011)

There were other patch notes about fixing Cosmos agents but I don't want to spend a lot of time searching. One thing I know for sure, I've always been able to access the regular Cosmos agents that gave out multi-part missions with modified standings. I've also accessed Cosmos agents using the new lower standing requirement. Having some agents use the old agent quality standing requirement is unbalanced.

This issue needs to be addressed by CCP asap.

why hello again.

i petitioned and got an answer last night, the standing requirement is now 7.5 for Amarr Empire (unmodified).
crap i used up all my datacenter agents to raise it above 7.0, so i cannot confirm this quickly.

What?!? That makes no sense... 7.5 is a level 5 quality -10 agent, what kind of odd number is that?

I know the reason why COSMOS never got any additional attention was because the content touched many game mechanics and tend to go broken whenever CCP 'fixes' somethign somewhere else, but dang, I wish we could AT LEAST get a clear answer if these obvious changes are intentional or a bug.

Just like the missing faction rewards from the epic arc missions are the GMs absolutely clueless on this topic too. Proberly because they are not being informed of anyhting either.

I must encourage everybody who encounter these issues not (only) to do in game petitions to the GMs, but write bug reports so hopefully a developer will take notice. Bug reporting is done here.


Link didn't work for me. I filed a petition in-game and I filed a bug report here: https://bugs.eveonline.com/newbugreport.asp

Seems all the Cosmos Agents are now affected. I can't access any of the level 4 Cosmos agents even though I used to have access. I also found a lv 3 Cosmos agent that I missed. Tried to get mission and was told no job offers available.

My Minmatar Faction standing is +4.11 (Base) but the agents corporation (Sebiestor Tribe) standing is only +2.58 (Base). If standing of +3.00 is needed to access lv 3 agents, this shows that access is going by corporation base standing and not modified Faction standing.

This issue definitely makes the game unbalanced when compared to other Event Agents and needs to be corrected asap. Also CCP needs to inform players if a change has been done.

Reading on very old guides, and unsure of the requirements to talk to Akemon, I went ahead and grinded my standings to the following:

Amarr Empire = 7.12 (6.57)
Amarr Navy = 9.52 (9.42)


After fighting my way to Akemon and killing all the NPCs on grid, he gave me the "Sorry, I have no available jobs for you" like the OP.
Petitioning, this was the GM response I received:

Hi GM Arcade here,

I have doubled checked and it appears you need a 7.0 unmodified standing to the Amarr faction in order to access this agent. If you achieve this standing and are still unable to acquire any missions from him please let us know.



I will try to tip my unmodified Amarr faction over 7.0 and will try again... will let you know the turnout in a few days...

Confirming I received the missions after getting over the 7.0 unmodified hump Cool:

Before Akemon
Amarr Empire = 7.50 (7.03)

After Akemon
Amarr Empire = 7.65 (7.17)


Though I am a little disappointed that I was able to talk to him with my modified 7.50, wish I had a lower modified to close rumors...
