Despite being new enough in the region that few agents are willing to give me any work, and the recent loss of the mining colony, my lowly level one agent strokes my ego by praising my piloting skills before inviting me to participate in a Minmatar-Gallente air show. As ...

My Minmatar agent is actually happy to see my Caldari self! His low quality rating at level one has meant that just about everyone abandons him quite soon after meeting and I think he's just pleased to have the company. He may also be pleased to get a ...

My agent is happy with the Green Arisite ore I was able to acquire, particularly as it meant a different faction was denied the ore resource as a result. Now he wants me to find a particular scientist, saying something about him being an AI specialist. I probably ...

My agent asks me to mine some Green Arisite, a variant of the Gneiss mineral, for a new research project. There a catch in that the ore can only generally be found in low-sec systems. I ponder this for a minute, as going in to a low-sec system ...

My new agent in EVE Online was happy to see me, as he had reports of a large object in a deadspace pocket causing some sort of problem for the navy. He doesn't have to ask me twice to take care of the situation before I am jumping in ...

It is time to deal with a pirate invasion. This is the kind of straightforward mission I like to get from my agent, and my agent seems keen to offer me this kind of work. Go out and blow up some rats, she says. It takes all ...

My level three agent in EVE Online has another mission for me, tantalisingly named 'Guristas Extravaganza'. It sounds more like a codename for a lavish party held for some guests of honour, instead of brutally destroying the ships of an opposing faction. Thankfully, it turned out to be ...
