Do such things exist?

Playing, as a Caldari, such serp-heavy missions like World Collide, I noticed that Serps make almost perfect things to shoot. High bounty, weak to kinectic, DPS low outside of blaster range, and no ewar affecting me.

But, since they are the assigned pirate race to gallente, I dont get to meet them often. So, are there any agents that offer mostly anti-Serp missions, but are not of gallente factions, or in gallente space? I'm kinda shoot on sight to them:)

Try Minmatar agents and/or space. I am getting Serpentis missions quite often in Metropolis. Good Minmatar standings will also improve your Gallente standings.

Minny and Gal share the same basic pool of missions barring a couple race specific ones. I found the closer to gal space I was (in Minny space) corresponded to an increase in serp missions over angel. Course that could have just been coincidence as the sample size was relatively small comparatively.

Seems I'll have to butter up to minnies then. They dont like me that much either. Must be all those "Freedom Fighters" I shot dead:)

Is the "the closer to gallente spac,e the more serps" rule also true for caldari agents?

Yes, and there are Caldari agents in Gallante space. They're still mostly Guristas though. Why not just mission for Gallante?Roll

Negative ten standings?:)

If you look carefully at the title, you will see a three-lettered denominator before "gallente"...

Hi

Sadly enough what you want is to do missions in space where the rats are predominantly serpentis(can use ombey's 2d-map
for a quick list of those), but what you will find is that you are either in gallente space or 0.0 to get that.
And since you are -10 towards gallente entering their space might be a problem unles you have good diplomacy to get below
the -5 barrier, if you can do that there are plenty of caldari/amarr agents to use inside the federation space.
Missions can be generic or specific in nature, the generic will change depending on the area you are in, so the Extravaganza
Worlds collide etc will all be different rats depending on what rat type is predominant in that area(if you cant find the obey map
regions you want are Sinq Liason, Essence, Everyshore, Verge Vendor, Placid and Solitude, the 0.0 Npc space Syndicate have
mostly gallente or Intaki agents so prolly not as good for you)

Edit : Serpentis ewar not affecting you ?, did you ever do the blockade with serps)assuming you are in a range missile boat ;)

You're going to cry so hard the first time you get Blockade against Serpentis.

But yeah, from what I can tell -- in general -- the closer you get to Gallente space the more you see Serpentis in the mix. If your standings towards Gallente aren't too low, try a Caldari security agent actually within Gallente space. They do exist, and they do send you up against Serpentis regularly.
