Once you have the standing level needed to speak with an R&D agent, go to the station where the desired R&D agent is located, and begin a conversation with him or her. One of the options that they will provide to you is to start research - select this option. They will offer you their areas of applied science to research. Select the one(s) in which you have trained your skills. The agent will then start to produce research points (RPs) for you.

The formula for how many research points you'll get in a day is: ~~(1 + (20 + Negotiation*5)/100) * (Agent Skill + Science Skill)^2~~

The formula for how many research points you'll get in a day is:

Where:

RP/day = (1 + (20 + 5*N + AS)/100) * (SS + AL)^2

Where:

N = Character's Negotiation skill level

AS = Agent standing (not faction or corporation standing). This is affected by your {{sk|Connections}} skill.

SS = Character's specialist science field skill level (e.g., "Quantum Physics")

AL = Agent Level

*Agent Skill: Determined by the Level of the agent. Level 3 agents will have Level III of the appropriate research skill.

*Science Skill: Determined by your training in the research skill (e.g. Quantum Physics).

*Negotiation Skill: Improves the effective quality of your agents.

There are only ~~two~~ skills that can improve the amount of RPs generated per day. These are:

There are only three skills that can improve the amount of RPs generated per day. These are:

* Negotiation: Directly improves the effective quality of your agent, and is the most efficient skill for raising the number of RPs you earn each day. Negotiation IV, for example, raises Effective Quality by nearly 20 points.
