Title: Security Rating and Agent Payouts
Post by: Raging Turtle on January 15, 2006, 02:39:16 PM
I've heard about this before but I'm still impressed about what a big difference it is.

I was formerly working for a same-race, Q 19 agent that I had 6.2 standing with, in .9 space. 
I switch to an Amarr, Q -4 Agent, standing 0.0, in .5 space and I'm usually getting at least five times the mission payouts as I did with the first agent.   

If you're afraid of getting podded, I've found several .5 systems that have other .5 systems on either side - so as long as you're working kill missions, you won't be going into .4 or lower space.  At least in my experience, level 1 agents never send you more than 1 jump away. 

Extra bonus:  Amarr agents seem to give out less ammo and more cold hard isk.  Minmatar working for an Amarr  :evil:

Edit:  Oops, theres a .4 next door.  Oh well, the payouts are worth it.

Yeah, some of the guys in Corp channel keep talking about even larger rewards in 0.0 or 0.1 space.  I just haven't gotten to a place I'm comfortable going there yet.  I was going to try and hit a L2 q6 that's in .2 this morning, but the route had 2-3 ships destroyed in the last hour at several spots.  I figured it was best to wait again.

I have been trying to curry favor with the U. of Caille by running a L1Q6 agent in .8, who has on two occasions offered me a courier run to 0.0 space.  I had to turn those down.

I need a pic of me smacking my forehead.  And I need to move to .7 or .6 space.
