Missions & Complexes

Hi,

I have been running SoE for quite a time, and generally I found faction missions once each 10-15 missions, which makes a good ratio if you don't want to lose standings against other factions (I got mine already bad), because the timing to reject them is already passed when you get the next one.

But this weekend, specially on Sunday, I got those every 3-4 missions, which dropped my standings of about 9.8 to 8.2

Is this happening also to anyone else? Is CCP aware of this?

At this rate, I won't be able to use the LVL4 agent in some days...

Thanks in advance for your input.

As mentioned above, random is as random does.
The only sure thing with missions is the story lines that are offered.
For everything else they are random and crazy stuff like this happens. My suggestion would be to take a few days and run for another NPC then go back to SOE. Personally I ran enough to get my SOE standings where I want them and then never went back because there are not enough agents to move between to try and avoid this type of situation.

One of the reasons I run Lanngisi is their is a pretty decent LP/ISK Amarr IV agent nearby which fills in time when I cannot reject any more for 4 hours and also balances my standings back.

They do actually scramble but they web first, which means you pretty much insta-warp when they do. Obviously the faction police failed Tackling 101.

It is a game mechanic that is there for a reason. The devs want you to have to make hard choices and deal with the consequences. That is intended not accidental. You are not supposed to mindlessly run missions all day every day, day after day.

You have been given several good ideas of how else to approach this but don't think coming here and whining about it will make it go away.

Another idea is that you could set up multiple fully stocked mission hubs and just fly in between them with a fast ship like a interceptor. There is also that special edition shuttle that warps at a crazy speed I forget what it is called but the point is in a fast ship you can even go 20 jumps in no time. It's hauling all of your stuff with you that makes it take for ever.

Another player just linked this on another thread. It will give you a little insight into where the devs heads are with regards to the perpetual mission running playstyle. I'm not arguing that I agree or disagree just trying to give you some insight as to the focus of the people making this game. You dont' have to listen to the whole thing only about 2 or 3 minutes worth from where the video links.

Well I just simply made the arc for Caldari and gained back the standings to be able to fly everywhere.

Just to point out a couple things. I wasn't whining, just asking how come that was like this. I have played Eve since 2006 and have been in nullsec alliances since 2007 until august 2014. So, I'd say not much of a mission player...

Basically I need the standing to be able to move anywhere when I come back to nullsec.

That's still cutting it close. While they have you triple webbed, can some other pilots come in to finish you off?

Concord will still come in to blow up the aggressor so keep it in mind
