I would like to push standing to a specific CORP so i can fly higher lvl missions. Are there any reasons to fly from one agent to another agent (both are lvl 3) and do missions or can i just stick to one or two agents on a station and do those missions over and over again?
Any impact on your LP or ISK reward?

If you move from one agent to another within the same agent level, payouts should be pretty similar unless one agent is in a system with a different security rating than the other. The lower security rating will have a higher payout in terms of LP and ISK but probably not by too much.

There's nothing wrong with running missions for multiple agents within the same corporation; in fact I encourage it if you intend to try and keep access to all parts of highsec on your mission-running character, because you'll want to be declining missions against other empire factions - and declining two missions from the same agent within four hours will cause you a loss of standing, so having other agents to fall back to while you're on "agent cooldown" is a good thing.

Some thoughts ...

If agents are not at same station, I would use single agent until I get mission against Amarr/Caldari/Minmatar/Gallente. I decline such mission (to avoid standing loss with enemy) and continue using same agent until I get another such mission within 4 hours. Since I cant decline that yet without standing loss, I go to use another agent and come back later to decline the mission later.

I believe that personal standing with agent increases ISK reward, so using same agent would be a bit better than splitting that standing gain over several agents.

However, if both agents are on same station, I could get mission from both, go finish them both at one go, and come get 2 more missions. Especially when I am only interested in finishing mission quickly and not about killing every ship, this would allow me to complete more missions per hour than just using single agent.

I stick to one station that has more than one agent at the level I desire. Keep in mind there is more isk the lower sec the station.

Hmm i guess i will stop traveling all around and doing missions from many different Agents. I thought that they would give also all kind of different missions, since they are in a different part of space.

It's the agent's faction, division (security, mining, distribution, R&D) and level that determines what missions you get, not their location in space, unfortunately.What?

Nothing wrong with using multiple agents - in fact it's good to have a bunch nearby. Use the agent finder to see if you can find a cluster of agents for the corp all in one area.
