What about an expansion focused on new, true, eve mysteries for players on the exploration path?
Just for example I'm thinking at something like:
* Wormholes Maze: could be a wormhole leading to unknown space where you get stuck soon after the jump. To get out you need to solve some kind of puzzle finding yourself in a set of wormholes mirroring each other, where the next hole in the chain lead nowhere but in the same place where you start, until you find the right path that lead you back in K-space. Of course, the first hole in the chain should be recognizable in the description, and should collapse immediately after your jump. Put some high value prize in the form of ancient artifacts or in-game rare items at some point in the path;
* Time Travel: In the form of space anomalies that once entered bring you back in time, where we can find more info and ancient artifacts about Jovians, Sleepers and so on. As in the wormhole maze, to get out of the anomaly the time traveler need to solve some kind of puzzle and/or maze.
Those are only a couple of ideas. Expand/elaborate at will.

Personally I want to see NPC battles, the four races head to head.
NPC corps going to war and calling capsulars to help eg 50 to each side.
Couldn't care if there was no reward or good loot, just looking, participating or reading about it would make me want to play mare.
all we have now is boredom outside of PvP. Even if it was only a NPC getting poped by station guns for a crime, it's still more content than we have now

With say roughly 30.000 players online, day by day, there is just no way CCP could come up with as many mysteries.
Face it, relics that are found by you have been found by others, many, many, many times before.
Its like missions you keep doing over and over again. How many times did that dumb b*tch the damsel got rescued by now?
There was something going on in WH space before "Incarna" hit rock bottom, but that looks to be all dead now.

I would like to see more story arc woven into the game, too. There's a lot of potential here for good writers to explore, imo, and subsequent missions and game mechanics.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages wormholes, all alike.
edit: Also, if you like mysteries/surprises, how about CCP starts releasing patches and expansions sans devblogs and patch notes, along with no Sisi preview?
You can tell me what is and isn't Truth when you pry the tinfoil from my cold, lifeless head.

to be fair wormhole space has not been 100% explored yet
The devs have basically said "you haven't found anything, sorry no hints"

All NPC corp members should be enlisted in their Factions Militia after 30 days. For the first 30 days, the characters can be in the "Civilian Contingent", after that they're viable WTs for the enemy militias. If people want to have the freedom to move about freely, then they have to create/join a PC corp where they will have the option to be a neutral party.

Makes sense
Also if the races are at war ie amar and minmitar. For five jumps around were the engagement is taking place all players of the same race as the two fighting become lit as active targets for the other race. Concord law is suspended. But only within the five jump limit. If they get out concord rules apply, and the aggressor gets poped.

Off topic, but this made me snort coca cola out of my nose
On topic, I would also like to know if there has been any more revelations regarding the sleepers after the discovery of the DUST implant in that sleeper structure.
Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue. |

Plus, it also works as a way to get actual PVP into the NPE. People would realize earlier that Eve isn't a PVP-flag sandbox.

My room mates and I had a long discussion about the lack of randomness, surprises, things to discover in EvE.
For anything truly exciting to happen, truly interesting...CCP would have to take a risk.
Imagine a true Sansha raid on empire space....wormhole opens...100's of wrecks outside Jita...followed by a revenge story arc that all players could get involved in.
Imagine a wormhole leaking sleepers into a system secretly, so they appeared in missions or belts...until someone scanned the WH down and dealt with it.
Imagine rare npc spawns that started strange story lines...or lead to a rare unique ship.
Imagine a system suddenly going "dead" all services stopped...station agents missing, planets all destroyed, or turned into magma type...burnt clean....and it's up to capsuleers to discover the reason why, yet again with unique rewards and a great storyline to discover.
Imagine a CCP covert ops raid (rping as pirates) in 0.0...2 valuable BPOs are stolen, and are sold back into the general player base...or held for ransom.
Imagine a Jove invasion of 0.0...if the Jove forces win, they take over the system, and behave like a player corp...guarding gates, warp bubbles, seeking out and player warping into their system etc.
Imagine actual "realistic" space anomalies. Black hole systems that contain the opportunity for great profit due to the debris and wreckage...but the players shield/armor etc are being drained constantly...and it would require a team to go in and try to salvage....or a pulsar system...where every few moments you lose lock/take ship damage/are jammed....but yet again the rewards are higher.
Imagine anything new or exciting happening in EvE, that didn't revolve around licking 0.0 mega alliance boots, catering to the carebear, or fixing the massive amount or useless ships/modules (the one thing which is actually important).
EvE is stuck in the mud of it's own established player base; if it doesn't pander to 0.0 isk making/endless ship exploding, or high secs carebear safety concerns...it really doesn't matter. As long as the player base is small and feverishly dedicated, CCP won't bother doing anything other than catering to it's immediate demands to keep them subscribed.
It's nice to sit and talk about the possibilities of a exciting EvE universe...the one CCP loves to try and sell you in their trailers, but I really doubt it will ever convey the sense of adventure and excitement you are hoping for.

there is lot of unsolved mysteries in EVE.
Solve those 1st.
Example CCP added some mystery dungeons on some point, why they did it is still mystery at least to me. |

More missions, more exploration options, and more random NPC encounters can only be a good thing.
My idea for an event that takes place once every 3 months:
A freighter undocks from a random station in a random system, it could be anywhere, high, low, or null.
The freighter makes a random amount of jumps through random systems, but always at least 30 jumps to give people time to find it.
The freighter then docks at a random station before disappearing for another 3 months.
If someone finds the freighter while on it's journey, they will be pleased to see 24 PLEX sitting in it's cargo bay.
Engaging the freighter will require a group of players, as significant NPC reinforcements will be called-in to aid the freighter, resulting in what would hopefully be a showy and good fight requiring tactics and teamwork.
If the freighter could be engaged in high sec without incurring CONCORD intervention, all the better. |

I have a real mystery for you to solve:
There was that dude in Jita, axe master, or master axe, something like that who kept saying, at least thrice per day, "any naughty women here?"
What did he want? What did he expect? Was he hoping to find the love of his life in Jita local? And if he wasn't trolling, why did he block me when I laughed at him? Was his existence as sad as it seems? |

Unfortunately haven't seen it this year... but I always wanted to see if someone in the tournament would risk disqualification by fitting a cyno to their ship and try to get people into jove space. I think the tournament system might've been in pretty close proximity to northern perrigen falls.
It would be a big claim to fame and maybe ccp would allow it :P
