Random Agents in Natural Phenomena sites and landmarks

Just a thing that jumped to my mind today while strolling through the universe:

I've seen several of these Natural Phenomena sites in 00 which just sit there doing absolutely nothing. I was thinking about putting agents in space in there like the agents sitting at the gates around the gas constellations in 00.

There wouldn't be many and they would randomly switch throughout the universe's Natural Phenomena sites and they could offer some kind of mission string to obtain valuable items, standings to pirate factions or empire factions, or something completely new.

The same goes for these landmark sites, ie. the Angel Abandoned Mining Outpost in CL-1 in Curse. Every now and then an interactable Angel character could appear in these sites and offer, for instance, a mission to salvage hack some areas of the site to gain data or rare materials.

With this, these sites also should receive a graphics overhaul to make them actual natural phenomena and not just some piece or snake rocks.

Opinions? Bear in mind that this is just a rough idea that came to my mind and not a fully fledged plan.

Thanks a lot for unlocking again. Cool

With regard to the last CCP Event and the upcoming introduction to Ghost Sites, agents or other objects players can interact with in these sites could be use to direct players to a specific series of Ghost Sites sending the player through several systems or even regions with a guaranteed chance of BPC drops or a similarly valuable reward.

--

A different idea for a later stage that jumped to my mind the other day was the introduction of new objects in these anoms; that linger around in these sites. The player can again either find them via interaction with a agent or just scoop them if s/he's lucky and finds them floating around in a random site. They then can research/examine them via Industry capabilities. This could result in data bits for other research/invention, it can lead to information bits that lead to Ghost Sites, complexes, other celestial beacons. It can - taking Events into account - also be used to gather certain bits for factions who use them in their war against/for the empires. Or something else.

The idea with new objects would be interesting for the Natural Phenomena with the wormhole remnant that damages your ship that you can find in Caldari space.

I will give this a tentative +1, but only tentative since this same kind of effort could be used to finish/expand on the COSMOS system. I know it will never happen and that CCP's promises to iterate on things don't actually mean anything to old content, but I still want to see it done.

So anyway, tentative +1.

With Rubicon hitting the fan, this should be considered as new content for the next point release and/or the next expansion.

A Wild Random Agent appears and kicks this topic back to the top. His intentions are crystal clear: populate Attention Sphere 1 with ideas and feasible suggestions to expand the game.

Love it +1

Finding a random agent to hand out missions would be nice. Gives us explorers something else to do.

Also a agents that roam around from downtime to downtime would be cool, accept the mission and then need to use a locator agent to find them again.

Also more attention for this topic. As a person who loves exploration and flying around scanning down things to have some entertainment, I think it is time for new and more varied PVE content.

And again more attention for this topic. Especially in light of the introduction of possible new space over the course of the next years and with the awakened interest of pirate faction scientists in covert research sites, it's a prime time for this kind of agents.

More viable hotspots in the game for PVE & PVP? Who could resist this temptation? Blink

+1 I like this idea hope that some important people get to see it!

This is one of the hardest lessons for humans to learn. We cannot admit that things might be neither good nor evil, neither cruel nor kind, but simply callous – indifferent to all suffering, lacking all purpose.
