Hello, i have a question about those storyline missions you get every 16 missions, im doing mining missions for a few days and i had no problems with the storylines ones until i got one for the lvl 3, and i did the terrible mistake of quitting the mission after i accepted it, my standings went to sh*t, now i'm disliked with the agent and corp which was giving the missions, my question is: i wont get any more storyline missions every 16 runs? or i will get from a different agent/corp?

You will get a storyline again in 16 missions.

When you complete your 16th mission for a particular faction and level, The storyline agent of the same level and faction nearest to the agent that gave you that 16th mission will give you a storyline mission, regardless of how he/she feels about you.

IIRC you will need to succeed at 2 or 3 of them to make up the standings loss from 1 failure, but yes you will get another in 16 missions.

If you get a storyline mission you cannot handle (a couple of the L4 security ones are significantly tougher than even Downing the Slavers 4 or Blockade 4), it's usually advisable to pay someone to help you with it. If you actually fail one by losing a courier parcel or completion item to hostile players, make sure to learn from it.

Storyline mission givers don't work on the same reputation system as other mission givers, you'll just get a new storyline mission from the nearest storyline giver of the appropriate Empire and level after completing your 16th mission of a given level. It doesn't matter whether the storyline giver is of a faction that loves you or one that hates you.

(Edit: I also agree with the poster above... look up the mission to see if you can complete it before accepting, and just decline if it looks un-doable. If you find out you can't do it AFTER accepting, it's probably less of a waste of your time to roll the dice by asking for help in a mission hub or rookie chat and take the chance on your mission buddy being a griefer than to abandon. Abandoning wastes a LOT of your time recovering lost reputation.)

Offer payment, through a mutually trusted third party.

If someone asks me for help on an L4 storyline I'll backstab them. If they offer me 100m in payment, and use someone I accept as a third party to hold it in the interim, I'll do it for them.

Your goal should always be to make the other party have more to gain helping you than from backstabbing you.

The storyline agent used is the closest storyline agent of the same faction to the agent you did you last mission for. So if you want your storyline to be of the same corp as your mission agent, you will need to use an agent finder http://eve-agents.com/ to figure out where the storyline agents you want are.

This can streamline your efforts if your primary goal is raising your corp standing not just your faction standing. Such as, you were trying to lower your taxes and gain jump clone access. You can also choose a site where the nearest storyline agent is a distribution agent rather than security if you would prefer to not risk offending another faction as much.

I remember being annoyed because when I was working for the federation navy I kept getting Quafe storyline agents.

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

See I'm nicer. I just refer them to someone who can actually complete the mission for free. Well, that's if they don't know better. If they're a repeat offender, I might break out the talos.
