You sure it was the 2nd pocket? If so, I finally might have a reason to fit artillery on a mission Mach...

Out of curiosity, when did this mission first appear?
Sometime during December 2010/January 2011 - it was one of the things CCP did while totally ignoring the "flying in space" side of the game.
Then the idea of high standings may have some merit.
…or not, because if standing was a factor, I would have gotten it from the very start since I'm at 10.0 with my agent and has been for quite some time. Even so, I didn't get that mission until just a few weeks ago.


While I don't have any firm proof either way, based purely on (admittedlyunreliable) personal experience (from grinding up multiple new agents) I'm pretty convinced that mission selection is affected by agent standings. Have there been any Dev posts or thorough investigations into whether this is true?



No there are no Dev blogs and no hard facts. But I would stand with you on the fact that I have ground up standing with alot of differnt NPC corps and I do get better paying missions more offten with higher standing and fewer junk missions. And I did do alot of the junk missions to get that standing.

The higher my agent and NPC corp standing the fewer junk missions I get with every agent and NPC corp. And as my Faction standing keeps geting higher and higher I now hardly see a low paying mission at all.

Edit: FYI Dread PIrate Scarlet is one of my favorit missions too. It's great pay and fun as you dont always know what verson is going to hit you.

Is it a rock point a lazer at it and profit. Is it a ship point a lazer at it and profit. I dont see any problems here.

I one shotted Scarlet in the 2nd pocket but the mission wasn't flagged as complete. I then popped her again in the 3rd pocket, the mission flagged complete, and she dropped a container with the implant. Both wrecks contained a couple of modules.

More importantly, I got the five million bounty twice, so 10M + 8M implant = 18 million isk and max LP for the mission for several minutes work. Big smile
