To maximize your ISK from your datacore farm, you will have to give it some care and feeding every month or so. If you are not earning what you would like to see from your datacore farm, consider these improvements:

* Some ~~Research and Development~~ corporations ~~don't have~~ Level 4 agents in ~~high~~ security. Fly a cloaked ship, if you can, and take care in low-sec, as pirates like to hunt there!

* Train Research Project Management all the way to V, so that you can access six R&D agents.

* Some corporations base their best Level IV R&D agents in low security space. Fly a cloaked ship, if you can, and take care in low-sec, as pirates like to hunt there!

* Use the [http://hussars-online.ru/eve/datacore.php Profitability of R&D Agents] site to see what the current rankings are for your areas of science research focus. Try other sciences to see if you can make more ISK by training those and switch agents.

* Train your Connections and Negotiations social skills to 5, to increase the payout of your R&D agents.

~~-------------------~~

To access a research agent, you must fulfill both a normal standings requirement for an agent of their Level and Quality, as well as a requirement for Corporate or Personal standings at 2.0 less than the normal standings requirement. For example, to use a Level IV research agent, your effective personal standings must be 3.00 or higher toward that agent's corporation, and you must have an effective personal standing of 5.00 or higher toward this agent, the agent's faction, or the agent's corporation, in order to use that agent's services.

Note that attaining the required Corporate standing automatically fulfills the lower requirement. The extra requirement exists only to prevent those with high Faction standing from accessing top-level researchers without actually working for that corporation.

~~)))))))))))))~~

Once you have met the skill requirements, you must find R&D agent(s) who will work with you. To use a research agent you need to have a personal standing with that agent's corporation specifically, in addition to the normal faction or corp standings - the extra standings required for the R&D corp is to prevent you grinding up faction standings with eg: Republic Fleet, then starting research with a Boundless Creation R&D agent. Remember, this must be your own personal standing with the R&D corp whose agent you want to interact with. The required standing level is documented in the agent info tab of the agent's details.

~~)))))))))))))~~

~~For a L4 R&D agent you need at least 3.0 with his corp AND ALSO at least 5.0 with either him, his corp, or his faction.~~

Your effective personal standings must be 3.00 or higher toward this agent's corporation in order to use this agent, as well as an effective personal standing of 5.00 or higher toward this agent, its faction, or its corporation in order to use this agent's services.
