So i'm not 100% sure how to follow up here.

I've recently returned after a long break, and i noticed that i have 3 R&D Agents with a Faction and Corp that my standings are terrible, here is the problem, each of them have about 40,000 RP each which is alot of datacores.

They are level 4, R&D agents, and i'm looking for a bit of advice.

1. if i understand correctly i have to my effective standing to -1.9 for faction, corp and agent to utilize, do all the social skills apply here?

2. Is it even worth it, I don't even have an idea of how much isk i would be throwing alway...any help here would be great, I've heard that R&D agents took a huge nerf while I was gone, and it might not be that profitable. They are all Electronic's Engieering R&D.

or should I just abandon them (not sure how, which would also be helpful advice)

Thanks.

Same thing happened to me. If you keep the agent and do nothing, the old RP/day will remain the same. If you restart, it will be halved or worse. So I left her alone, and she continues to pay out at the original rate.

Yes.

Beware that if you have negative agent standing that is not fixable. Corp and faction standing is fixable.

No, not worth it.

I've not collected my RP in a time measured in years, since now you have to buy them for ISK and the market prices are low thanks to faction warfare being the primary source.

Agent 1: 153,385.95 (4.6 years)
Agent 2: 117,717.35
Agent 3: 117,760.42
