Hi all
I’ve been AFK from game for many years. I am logged in game and remember I had research going with an agent for Datacores.
I’m trying to talk to the agent but says the following:
My standings are good but I’m confused as to how to reclaim the datacores or at least get a conversation going with the agent?
Any help is appreciated.
I know the game has no timer to log you off automatic… but AFK for years? 
Unless you dated Charie Porelotta’s daughter. this sounds like a trouble ticket is in order. I never had an NPC call me scum, but I have quit missions to find they are no longer available. But the dialog is more like, “Sorry that mission is promised to another pilot.”.
Ask for a mission reset, use F12 in game.
Have fun!
OK so it’s been a while since I’ve submitted a bug report.
I believe it falls under Gameplay
What is the best way to describe to CCP the nature of the problem? Obviously I was rather casual in my OP but to get them to see that I can’t interact with an agent that I presume is still giving me RP/day is a bit wordy.
"I’ve been away from game for sometime and I’ve come to talk to an agent who has been actively providing me with Gallente Starship Engineering Research Points but the agent refuses to talk to me, as though I have terrible standings but my effective standing with that agent is 5.2
The agent in question is Charie Porelotta"
Simple and clear ticket description yes?
Did you do anything to lower your standings with the faction or corporation of the agent?
Did you sub or are you an alpha clone?
Nevermind, thats a level 3 agent.
Only thing i can think of is your gallente faction or duvolle standings are bad
Resolved.
And here was me thinking that agents were dumb.
When I did a search my standings had dropped, the agent didn’t mention it but that agent wasn’t on the available list for me anymore, even though they were collecting points.
OK so I’m not aware of anything I did that would have lowered my standings with the Faction/Corporation during my activity.
However upon checking my standings with the corporation Duvolle Laboratories, it appears to be 0.81 and the required level should be atleast 1.0 even though my effective standing is 5.22
I will try and grind a couple of security missions to level up quick and see if that changes anything and keep you all updated.
For the record I am still an Alpha clone and will be upgrading in the next couple of weeks.
Howdy!
This isn’t a standings problem at all. Its a skills problem. Alphas CANNOT use research agents of any level. The absolute minimum to run any research agent is Science V (Alpha max is IV) and at least one level of at least one of the agents skills (Plasma Physics, Gallente Starship et al).
Your screen looks alot like mine after I extracted my Science-specific skills. The RP is still accumulating -albeit at a very low level (well below L3 norms) - but I can’t talk to the agent to purchase the datacores. At minimum I will have to inject or re-train the Science skills to talk to the agent.

Closed as per OP’s request.
