This page refers to the in-game "Agent Finder" window and not to any external tools.

The agent finder as located in the Captain's Quarters.

Overview

The agent finder is a useful in-game tool that allows you to locate agents of interest to you. It is a simple and effective method of choosing which agent to pursue next and allows you to easily plan ahead for future mission running. It is very similar to existing external tools such as our very own Turhan Bey app AgentRangefinder or Eve Agents

How to Access It

The agent finder can be accessed via two methods:

  • NeoCom > People and Places > Agent Finder
  • Locating it in your Captain's Quarters.

How to Use it

An example of what the Agent Finder looks like.

By selecting various parameters you are able to narrow down the list of agents in the window to ones you are interested in. The options are:

  • Agent Level - This determines the level of agent you wish to look for. Always check your required standings are high enough before heading to agents above level one.
  • Faction - This is a mandatory selection that will narrow down available corporations to those which belong to the chosen faction.
  • Corporation - This will only show agents of the chosen corporation. This is useful if you know you have high standing with a particular corporation or want to raise it.
  • Solar System - Allows you to limit your search to a specific system.
  • Security Status - This restricts the security rating of the agents' systems allowing you to, for example, exclude agents that would take you to lowsec.
  • Show Only Available - This hides all agents from whom you don't have the required standings to pull missions.

The final output will show all applicable agents in order of closest first with their names, corporations, levels, agent type, system (along with its security rating) and distance. This should give you all the information you need to make an informed decision on where to mission next.
