Warning: Although goons have some very helpful new player guides on their wiki, they will not hesitate to grief you in-game. They are cruel folk that will do their best to scam, destroy ships and pod-kill, and steal from non-goons (and even other goons for the hell of it).

There is a database of agents available on the [http://eve-agents.com/ Eve Agents] website. Some of the entries are outdated and you should always check in-game to confirm the existence and location of the agent. You can also use the map to see systems where you have agents available to you. Open the map (F10), go to the Star Map tab, go to the Stars sub-tab, go to the My Information section, select My Available Agents. Flattening the map can make it easier to navigate. Hovering your cursor over these star systems will list the available agents along with their respective corporation, level, quality, and division.
