As the title says why not have the agents offer a selection of missions to choose from. Perhaps 3 at the most.
It may reduce the amount of times you reject a mission and wait 4 hours. It also may keep some from logging off for 4 hours or taking a hit on standings.
Its not always convenient to jump 2 or 3 systems for another agent. Not all systems have several agents to choose from.

Oh, and what about playmate bunnies serving drinks and sandwitches while you missioning?

So logging off for 4 hours because you can't be bothered jumping 2-3 systems is more convenient than actually jumping 2-3 systems? If that is the case why do you even need a choice? Log off and do something else.

They only wants an option to pick up the "better" missions (those with better time/ISK ratio) and skip the less convenient without any penality.

The OP idea would merely allow to decide what mission do without any limit or standing penalities.

While an isk print button would be prefered by many, this would make the game boring to no end. I agree that there needs to be more work done on the missions (read more variation). But giving people the option to just pick the best/easy mode missions does not seem like a good idea to me at all.

Besides, with the current system you get out sometimes, not hang around your old neighborhood and poke your head outside your cull de sac for a change ;-)

Exotic dancers and prostitutes are in-game items. You can always buy a few of each and keep them in your hold while you mission.

Wait, so you're telling me that EVE has more than 3 Solar systems?

it gets hard to advocate empire bears are okay people when people post ideas like this.....


RNG gives out missions to contol isk op. I'd like WC all the time, but it be too much isk. run the crap missions between the good ones. PIck your poison....move 3 systems or run the crap missions. Personally I find the crap missions nice to speed run and get the special missions faster.


Or leave empire. Want high payout, get a belt system warmed up and its high value bs' all night long. In addition to the isk making ca's and such.

Just wait till you get to level 3's...they can send you 5 jumps away just to GET to the missions.*courier missions can go 12 jumps or so, and storyline can send you to different regions entirely.*

Believe me when i say this, 3 jumps is NOTHING...I think I made.....79 jumps total today? And that's a daily thing. If your in highsec, chances are you won't be ganked unless your in/near jita or mining in belts...

Good luck either way.

I would love to see if the Agent gives you always to Mission at the same time, you can choose which one to pick but the other will still remain, if you finish Mission A next Mission A will change, Mission B remains until you decline it or finish it.

The same visa verse.

Its like 2 Agents at once... So nevermind ...
