I would like to see new missions, not necessarly combat ones. From the time I have started to play the number of different missions has reduced, and the ones left are even more repetitive, limited to 1 or more "rooms" in a "dungeon" or moving a single item/stack from a station to another.
From what I have read there were non storyline missions requiring the ghatering of components, never seen one.
So I am opening this thread for player suggestion as new missions possibles.

For example the idea by Winter Chill I am quoting can be easy adapted for a series of missions for astrosurvey, needing only a warning "You need astrosurvey X to do the mission"
Level 1 send you in 0.9-07 space; level 2 in 0.6-0.5; level 3 in 0.4-0.3; level 4 in 0.2-0.1; level 5 in 0.0.

As an alternative to mining how about astrosurvey?
The idea is from the game star control where you land on moons and "scan" aka run over alien life and sell the data to other aliens for cash. Okay it was an odd game but I think something like it would work on eve. Heres the idea written in nice simple langauge.
Requirements:
A high slot item: Basic Directed Ultra Frequency Scanner (aka the mining laser)
A low slot item: Data compressor (this item "spawns" the "minerals" into your cargohold)
Skills: Science, Planetoid Survey (low income), Planetary Survey (medium/high income), Solar Survey (special maybe a compinent for invention/T2) Anomoly survey ("its life Jim").
The Dirty Deed:
You fly up to a object in space point your DUFer "mining laser" at it and its starts the "scan" aka mining the crap outta it, instead if minerals you get datacores perticular to the kind of planet it is. Datachips/cores maybe the ones already used in research or perhaps a component in something new. Who knows... Ofcourse like mining asteroids each heavenly body only yields so much before she gets a headache and wants to go to sleep.
Information is powAAAA.
Here and idea what the gold/resource might be called
Geological Data (the trit of scientific knowledge- spawned by lamo moons in lamo 1.0 space for lamo 1.0 players)
Stratospheric Imaging
Biological Content Logs
Gravimetric Mapping
Stellar Topography
Stellar Gravametric Mapping
Object Spectrometry
Trans-Planar Readings
Xeno-Biology Scans
Planetary Archeological Readings
The value of the data depends on the security level of the system, like minerals, the theory being that 1.0 highly populated systems will be well documented while 0.0 systems will be relatively uncharted. 0.0 should also hold strange objects that can be scanned, but this is just an idea I think its a good one. What do you think?
For a change its something that nerfs nothing and introduces another reason why players should explore 0.0 space.

Hey hey
Sooooooooooooooo Many ideas for missions. I would love for CCP to actually get some player input for mission ideas maybe even run a player event for the best mission suggestion etc.
hopefully Kali 2 and beyond will have something more interesting and maybe white wolf will come up with ideas.
Oveur i think you need one of your new top 10 stickies for us mission runners they have proved successfull in the other sections :)
my two cents for ya.
Red Omber : Mission Brief
Mikal Drey, good to see you again i think i could do with your help. it seems that the Angel Cartel have managed to locate a mysterious new ore "Red Omber" We here at Minmatar Mining Corporation would like a small sample and would like you to obtain it by any means possible. However, as usual the Cartel are feircely protecting it and their Chief Mining director Arnol Ratangard is overseeing the project. Him and his minions will need to be removed before any attempt at ore extraction as im sure they dont want to share. Fly over and retrieve fifty thousand units for us and we shall reward you accordingly....
Objective : retrieve 50k units of Red Omber
it would be a warp in, kill the ships etc. and then u need to mine a specific asteroid objective and get mission specific (non marketable style) ore and drop to your agent. the deadspace would spawn so you would need to either sacrifice a high for a mining laser or go in with a gang to clear rats and get ore out etc.
I got this idea from a COSMOS mission where i was required to go into a deadspace pcket and get some ore but it was just brought off the market and the mission wasnt really played out as it was intended.
COSMOS mission were truly great and some were quite hard to figure out . . the drone mission for example where the agent spoke in binary :) or the infamous Kutils data chip sequence. I think there is alot of scope with mission content that is lacking
yes EvE is mainly a PvP game blah blah but its so diverse i think more content improvement will lengthen the games lifespan as wel as popularity.

Ideas? heres one:
Change agro mecanism. It's simplys stupid that u shot a group and other npc in same stage simply look their mates die. it's a non sense, and totally unrealistic. how i can aggro a group at 50km and be ignored by npcs 15km far from me?
home hints:
* Once got aggro from 1 group all other groups will aggro u after some deelay. ( thy need time to realize whats happening)
* Put less groups in a stage and increment number of stages
* Groups should be more distant each other. this way u have time to partially kill a group before other groups are near enough to make u significant dammage.
* remove those ****ed mwding bs's

First I'd like to see the amount of NPC's reduced by 75% and their abilities increased accordingly to compensate.
Then I'd like new missions.

This is great stuff. I hope the developers take some constructive input from players like you. |

Astrosurveying and mining divisions only:
"Take these probes and survey X moon forus. Report back to us with its mineral composition."
Should only be offered on 0.4 moons and up because of possible hostile POSes. You'd have to manually report the composition at the end of the mission, and reporting incorrectly would be counted as a failure.

Shooting myself in my own foot here I suppose, but here goes anyway....
I'd like to get missions that mimic PvP as much as possible, with multiple NPC tactics that are not predictable. Included would be being nossed, target painted, different drones being set on us/me by AI NPC BS', etc..
All in all, a little bit of effort to relieve the grind of missioning once in a while would be cool. Would also help those who wouldn't mind PvP'ing a bit more to get an idea of what else can hurt you or be used against you.

yup . . thought that would be very cool too. its a shame that NPC's are way to easy to pop. just something else i thought of . . .
Freedom Battle Royal
Mission Brief. :
[player name] Im so glad to see you, well kind of. I hope that you got the mail that was sent you. we had a Hacker in the system send out some rather nasty evemails and my database was eventually corrupted. This Amarrian Hacker has sent some rather nasty threats to all my contacts. the mail you recieved is what brought you here i guess..
He has challenged you; amongst many others to a duel the the death. his chosen ships is a [insert random/level based ship] and has managed to create a deadspace acceleration gate in [system] which is locked to anything bigger than [his ship class] we are unaware how he has done this but we of the Vhreikor tribe are still recovering and our recent return to the empire means we lack resources to take him on alone. Please accept the challenge and take him on he is to our understanding a very competent pilot so he might be dangerous and i would understand your fears in facing him.
We would like you to retrieve either one of the following . .
1. Hacking device
2. Matari Victim's Biomass
3. Amarrian FroZen Corpse
I think you could add a dynamic option here and it could be part of a mission series based on your choices/retrieved items and add a new option of podding NPC commanders etc. also as it would be more PvP based you could add a need to warp scramble the NPC to catch his pod and even prevent him from warping out etc. Also the mission objectives would also be tiered biomass's from previous victims could be in a locked tower (npc prescence locked) his ship pop would yield the hacking device and his pop would obviously be the icing on the cake for a top tier option. ??
its just a shame that NPC's are a bit on the weak side and ive only come accross a couple of BS's that are actually hard/almost impossible solo
NB. this could even be done via Aurora agents etc. acting as the NPC to add that more realistic approach to a PvP mission ?

These are great ideas, people! I'd love to see them implemented in the game! This would definetly make playing this game more fun.
