Sometimes it’s necessary but nobody else is picking up the mantle. We have a distinct hole in “The Agency” where their ability to find out how agents link is practically zero. ---

You do know all you have to do is look at the corp info under the agents tab, right? Shows you right where each level of agent is and how many jumps away. I have no problem finding agents and I’ve ran missions for 137 different NPC corps… ---

Second that. I don’t remember how Agent finder looked, but when i came back to EVE this time it took me some time just to figure out the agents actually were in the Agency. And it lacks filters, yes. ---

I for one, found the old agent finder _precise_, _functional_, _inclusive_, _extensive_ and _compact_. The transfer to the agency was in no way an upgrade. A bling, slow, resource hog with very limited functionality does little to serve those of us who used the old agent finder. If CCP wants the Agency to be the one stop shop for new players I am OK with that. What I am opposed to is removing something that many players found useful and giving them a major downgrade as a replacement. Especially after many major flaws and objections were pointed out during testing. The coding to keep both could not be that onerous. This same issue is now going on with the new Planetary Interaction interface in regards to the large, screen real estate hog the new display consumes. The new PI window adds more info, a plus, buts covers areas you work with making you minimize the window. Many players are asking for the **OPTION** to use the old compact window. That’s what I would like. The **OPTION** to use the old Agent Finder. These “Eye Candy” additions that do little to improve the game but require better video performance seem only to be motivated by the new “Recommended” system. ---

> [@Molpadia\_Devaux](#): > > I for one, found the old agent finder _precise_ , _functional_ , _inclusive_ , _extensive_ and _compact_ . The transfer to the agency was in no way an upgrade. True. The agency was a horrible drop. I wish it had come with the entire tree set of which agents result in which storyline agents giving you a mission every 15 so you can actually use it to plan what you do. I also wish it would track when you were about to clear that storyline mission requirement so you could… ya know… plan. It’s been missing that function forever though. Thus the functionality that it was missing should be the base for the agency to be upgraded. Give us that tree like the ships have for agents. Like they’re planning for the activity tracker they’ve got in the works… > **[EVE Online News - Updates, blogs, events, patch notes & more](https://www.eveonline.com/news)** > > Stay fully up-to-date with all the latest news, updates, events, and developments from EVE Online, the #1 space MMO game! Storyline agent A connects to mission level 1 agents (Z thru ZZ) and you have X missions left before they will offer you a level 1 storyline mission. The same storyline agent also has links to mission level 2, 3, 4 (and maybe 5) agents and keeps track of which ones you have done missions for. Information that has been forced to be tracked by us forever. I sincerely hope that it is the upgrade we needed for so long in relation to the agent finder. ---
