Why is this so hush hush in the game. It's a very sexy passive income like PI imaright? I've Rarely seen this discussed or talked about.....

Also Why aren't there any missions involved during the research process? I think they're missing dailies in order for the research to be completed and/or sped up? Agent could ask the player to pick up xyz like a hauling mission one day?

Yes random comment in my car traveling.

Because the income is miniscule. There are already missions for research agents, they reward you with an extra day worth of research. Those missions also count towards storyline missions.

My b. Just getting into some R&D side of things. I was under the impression we could obtain a t2 blueprint. From what I've read they done away with the old lottery system.

Cheers.

Yes, the blueprint lottery went away quite a few years ago and was replaced by invention. T2 BPOs from the lottery era still exist, but are difficult to acquire, when offered via contracts they sell for insane prices. The only point to research missions now is to obtain datacores, and CCP nerfed that somewhat more recently so the income is, as Aerie Evingod says, miniscule. I think most datacores on the market today come from faction warfare loyalty point offers.
