I suggest that the devs look at what modern MMOs are doing with quests, i.e. Warhammer Online's public quests and with particular interest paid to what Guild Wars are suggesting here.

you get a massive wall of text hardly anyone reads that describes a horrible or totally mundane thing going on in the world that you need to help with. You run off, complete this task, then return and talk to this character again to receive another wall of text and a reward. Traditional quest systems rely on these blocks of quest text to tell you what is happening in the world; this is just an outdated form of storytelling.

One thing I would consider would be to link new missions to how standings have been set.
Someone who has had their treaty (I was watching fanfest recently) broken by a backstabbing swine, might put poor standings to the person who did it.
When someone accumulates enough bad standing (this has to be a bad thing, because otherwise people will manipulate it otherwise, there can be no upside- i.e. not abusable like the bounty system is) with people, NPCs start talking about them making them out to be notorious backstabbers and not to be trusted... this makes walking in stations a good place to hear gossip if you're considering a treaty yourself, for example. After this, NPC bounty hunters (more desperate and less sensible than players) might randomly attack the offending player or might offer people in stations missions to assist an NPC gank.

I wonder if it would be possible to find a down-at-heel politician and bribe, cajole or blackmail him/her into manipulating potential political decisions to positively affect your own personal agenda.
As a wealthy corporation, you should be able to influence the decisions of government - just like real life!
