Is there a way to see agents on the map ? So I don’t have to fly around looking for them? Also, worth it to sell plex? Thinking of buying 2, using one in game and hocking the other for a good lump of startup isk

Re: Agents on the map - Not really unfortunately. You can use the website I linked to find agents that you might be interested in, and then look up their location on the map, but there’s no real way in game to just go searching on the map for available agents. I was looking for a way to do that too.

Dude, I am as big a spreadsheetcarebear as you can find and I just used my scout to pop the pod of a pirate I found while scouting my hauler into Clarelam … just because he was in a pod and I am flying a merlin …
