Can any one maybe lightly out line the different types of pve content available to play?
It has been a long time since I last played and there have been many expansion, so I am not up on all the changes and additions.
I know there are regular missions, up to lvl 4. Then there are cosmos missions?
And exploration, scanning of some sort I know, but that's all I know.
Then there is some kind of faction warfare?
And lastly I think there is also incursions? what are these?
Can any one just quickly give a little info on these?
thank you. |

There are epic arcs, both for starters (SoE arc) and 1 epic arc per faction. Those require pimpier ships than usual L4s.
Faction warfare is PvP centered around certain low sec areas (marked as such) where a faction (2 empires vs 2) tries to conquer territory over another. You will be freely killable by the opposing faction even in hi sec, even in Jita, till you leave.
Then they introduced lots of anomalies in 0.0 tied to sov, both military and mining.
They also introduced some more L4 and moved L5s all to low sec. Pirate L4 now give better rewards (they buffed the BPC ships etc).
They introduced wormholes, aka little black holes that warp you in random 0.0 "alike" systems outside the regular map. There are of many kinds (with different bonuses given to stats) and 6 increasingly difficulty called C1-C6 with quite nasty anomalies with AI that is much better than L4 AI. But WHs are beyond PvE, they also give you some potent PI (see below) planets and you can put POSes to live inside. You'll be in 0.0 but without the hassle of the big alliances constantly busting your stuff.
There is PI, a new form of quasi-passive income, where you create mini colonies on planets (each planet category has its own minerals etc), extract resources and then take them off on a ship of yours and then sell or manufacture items requiring those materials.
There's Barbie in space aka Walk in station that should probably be the first thing you saw the first time you logged back in game.
They also overhauled the exploration system some times, changing how probes work and generally making it easier.
Apart this and other changes (new ships, check Noctis out for L4, buffs to Minamatar and more) I don't recall anything else.
I am probably forgetting something big but atm I am too tired to think.

The above poster nailed it but to summarize...
Ratting, Missions (SOE, Pirate Faction, Normal) FW, Exploration, Wormholes, and Anomalys, can't think of anything else, unless you want to get into Mining or Trading which isn't really pve

Surprised no one mentioned incursions (AKA Sleepers on crack). Also notable for being the first PvE content that can't be done with just you and one or two alts |

Since the OP mentioned them (= he knows they are here) and since this sub forum has recent Incursion threads all over it, I thought it'd be redundant to tell the OP what he knows to exist already and has plenty of references in the first page.
