You're thinking of incursions.
A while back I proposed the idea of corporate missions. They'd be similar to incursions in difficulty and would be designed in such a way that only members of the accepting corporation would get rewards. It would be incursions without the pickup fleets, encouraging long-term relationships to be built and giving PVE-centric corps larger goals. Also, they would serve to develop skills more suitable to PVP. In my idea, these would be THE best highsec income, as they require long-term organization and cooperation. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

Look at what happened to the incursion "community" post-nerf: it virtually disappeared. If by "interaction" you mean "communicate just enough to form a fleet and shoot some pluses" then yeah, incursions already do that and I don't think we need more of the same.
Personally, I'd like to see more long-term bonds developed. I want highsec corp membership to mean more than a private chat channel and lower taxes. Creating content specifically aimed at corporations would give players a compelling reason to stick with their corporation and invest time and effort into its development.

Aside from w-space, most of the game's PVE content isn't much different than that of highsec. It just pays a little better. For the PVE-minded players, I really don't see much reason to leave highsec. Nullsec PVE is just a means to funding nullsec stuff. We're talking about people who play Eve for completely different reasons.
I want to see CCP create a set of content specifically designed to draw player corporations into dangerous space chasing the almighty isk. I want it to be part of the natural progression. Level 5 missions failed to do that because they were ALL moved to lowsec. The content was effectively removed from high, making L4s the new bar. Incursions are always either high, low, or null. One incursion can never cross the border.
Imagine L4 corporate missions that can take fleets 5-10 jumps away from the mission agent and assign tasks in lowsec. Missions designed to take two hours for a group of 10-15 people to complete, including multiple objectives. My vision of this kind of content differs wildly from the OPs...mine is all about encouraging people to learn to work together for long-term objectives and invest the time to achieve them...and then dangling the isk carrot out into lowsec.
edit: In my mind, corporate L3s would be the highest level of highsec-only missions and should pay the equivalent of solo L4s and be built for 4-6 people. This would probably satisfy the OP.

What? Level 5 missions 0.0 Cosmos missions Pirate missions Much cooler and more difficult complexes Wormholes as you mentioned Pirate epic arc missions FW missions
***ISN'T THAT MUCH DIFFERENT***
I didn't say it was the same. Low/nullsec PVE content is just a variation on a theme: complexes, missions, epic arcs, cosmos. It's all stuff that exists in highsec. FW missions require participation in FW, which the "I just do missions" crowd is obviously going to shy away from.
Liliana Rahl wrote:IMO this should have been incursions. Imagine if it had been the SOLE source for CONCORD LP (as it is) and ONLY found in low sec.
Then the highsec players would have completely shirked it and lowsec incursions would still be exactly the same as they are today. I'm confused why you think that putting stuff in lowsec is going to create an automatic draw there. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy.
