I am researching Research project management IV, I already have 4 R&d agents working for me, I don’t remember if there was a limit or else I will be able to use another agent when finishing lv4, and another one when researching lv5… So it would be total of 6 agents… * * * – Also. I payed for retrieving 371 cores from my Agent in korsiki, but the industry interface didn’t reset the Agent LP count, instead it has added a new Agent, the same one… but now with zero LP… and the same agent is still there with all LP intact that I just used… If I try again to buy them it sasys no LPs… So Why it -opened- a new agent line??? ![Screenshot 2025-10-13 at 13.50.33](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/e/e/dee52512c7a20a02743fe2493c4e093518aa7c92.png) you can see I now have the same Agent but double in Korsiki… could this be a bug or did I do smthng wrong??? DId I had to do a mission first??? I think to remembr would double the Datacore research output for the day and that was it… I forgot how to retrieve the datacores??? ---

It did it again!!! It has created another R&d Agent line in the R&d tab… after I bought the datacores…. What is going on??? ![Screenshot 2025-10-13 at 13.59.53](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/8/1/3816b9a1ab59c7c55b37a87ddd85f45458a05cf0.png) ---

I had this bug, during the Spring. I collected Data Cores, exactly as you describe. It, the “double agents”, resolved themselves, if I recall correctly, about a week later. I figured, it was a low priority, clean up job, done once a week on CCP’s end. I don’t know it that assumption is accurate or not; but this bug manifested itself, for me, during the Spring. ---

You can have 6 maximum. Research Project Management is the skill, +1 agent per level. Seen occasional bug over the years, always figured it was just graphical. ---
