True, no escort missions.
They can be fun...
"escort ship [insert name] to destination [x,y,z] and make sure nothing happens to it."

As i remember CCP is thinking about implementation of new missions types maybe even escort missions. No current dates but that is on drawing board, check out linkage:

i'll quote:

Objectives Expanded
Recon, Escort, and ôCombat Courierö mission types will add a little more variety to the existing staples of ôkill, kill, kill some moreö and the occasional milk-run.

I've gotten a few missions which have involved hauling prostitutes to some station or another (and was greatly amused that their category was "livestock")...
Oh... is that not what you meant by "Escort Mission?" |

There's at least one escort mission. You have to free a can of Quafe and get it back safely. It's not like you can just leave the Quafe to make the few hundred light years journey back home on its own...

Don't forget the "Escort a ham sandwich to me" and the "Escort a pack of smokes to me" missions. So that's three escort missions. Pretty damn impressive for EVE if you ask me. |

The infamous drawing board... Did they misplace that thing or something?
Oh, and you forgot the "escort my garbage to a nearby asteroid field. I've acquired a bookmark to it. Don't ask how" Missions. ^.^ |

That's because all of eve is an escort mission, sir. If you've ever had a friend or corpmate with anything even mildly valuable you needed to get from A to B...
From the first moment a new pilot in a rookie ship realizes they need to get their ore to the station, to the BPO your corp finally got that's 22 jumps from your home station, it's all escort missions 23/7.
And the first time you have something of your own you need to transport... you realize you are the escort mission.  |

Most missions in eve work so that if you kill all enemy ships (and collect the item), the mission is successful. In escort missions the escort may be dead by the time you kill all enemies, and thus chances of failing would be quite high.
What I would love to see is an escort mission into low sec with a gate camp or two (no NPCs). Now that would be fun! |

Timed combat missions would be good too. Or something like saving an NPC ship/structure under attack. In fact there is a lot of variety they could add and include the Sleeper style AI into some existing missions. You could even have ones where you need to leave your ship for a while. Maybe their new epic arc mission engine will enable them to do more as I think EVE has a lot more potential than most games in this.

How about a type of mission where 1 player at a certain corporation has to escort an NPC ship or NPC person in their cargo, while on the other hand another player receives a mission from a rival Corporation to assassinate the same NPC. Thus it is in essence a PVP mission. This is just a rough draft idea I had and obviously there are tons of factors to overcome,but I thought it would give a little more flavor to certain aspects of PVP. |

Or CCP could arrange things so that when the news reports that the Khanid First Fleet is out and about, then there actually is a Khanid First Fleet out and about. Khanid Loyalists could then defend the fleet from the separatists, or the Amarr purists, or other folks who have a grudge against the Khanid for many and varied reasons.
I'm pretty sure that the players could come up with their own reasons for defending or attacking an important NPC fleet.

Attack of the Drones starts out looking like an escort mission, except the ship you're supposed to escort is already dead when you warp in.

Hell, that's a good idea. The only problem is that there is a very small chance that an other player from a rival Corporation (let's say with negative standings toward each other) is nearby and taking a mission with the same level at approximately the same time so he can get the countermission. |
