Missions & Complexes

I'd kill for a 'scoop cargo' option which auto-grabs loot without popping up inventory, instead of having to go into each pod, loot all, and then close the inventory screen each time. All that'd be needed is a, "Contraband cargo! Confirm scoop?" option in case of contraband items that occasionally drop.

I don't "do" nullsec, but a) it's nullsec; rewards should be better there; risk <>reward and all that; b) many, if not most, nullseccers have L4 alts; why do you think that is?

- Drones : allow keyboard shortcut depending of the type of drones, some ships got plenty of room and it will be easier to sort out the drones you need to use.
So, some short cut to "launch drones" for combat, mining, salvage, logistic and EW drones, as well some short cut to "recall" by category and one "general recall" short cut.
Well that one could be use for either PVE or PVP in fact.

- Bounty : increase the reward depending on the level

- Reward : increase the reward depending on the level

- Link the standing you have with the NPC, with an increase of bounty and reward during PVE mission

The game should attrack all kind of player (not only, well the opposite of PVE).

- DED skill : make a use of it for PVE, the skill existed, make it usefull
Make it more difficult and longer to train , but it will increase a lot bounty and reward in PVE missions

- PVE null sec : increase the number of station and agents with more LV4 and LV5

- PVE nul sec : increase the number of site to explore (link to the previous one)

- PVE hight sec : why not some LV5, it will have to be done in fleet, impossible to do it alone.

- Missions : while in the site of the mission, Make the site difficult to locate or unlocable.
I could see already the moron crying about it.
On the other hand, make the site visible, would be by giving away wrecks or available loots, so the site become visible until the next down-time, even if you complete the mission.

- Grav site in mission : increase the amount of ORE and give some interesting ORE, give some rare ORE at random .
So people will take the time to mine it and to look for it ; and make possible to give it away, the grav site, even while the mission is complete. So it become a grav site until next down time.
Possibility to bookmark it with a direct flight to it, bypassing restriction gate or see the next idea.

- Restriction with ships : allow all the industrial and ORE ships in any mission, specially if there's some grav site in it.

- New missions and revamp old missions : it's not only a mission, it have to have interesting feature to explore (mission in the mission, hidden treasure, quest, etc...)
For example you have a typical mission with killing drones, but some places could be explore
I mean, you could just kill the drone and move on.
Or inside the mission, there's more to be discover in ruins for example, with the use of anayser and tools to unlock ancient treasure.

Hide stuff, make things interesting to look at, not only by destroying structure, things could be hidden in a cloak field for example, new scanner or just flying arround to bump into it.
A field, that you could cross easily or not depend of the mission lv, etc...

- LP points : give the possibility to sale LP point on the market, the game is all about the market, well monetize the LP points, find a way for that.
Some sort of secondary market each NPC have it's own LP points so it's a market.
As it's only money, it could be restricted to region or not.
If not, well there will be bubble and burst in the economy of the LP points ; typical of EVE's life.

- Fix the COSMOS missions.
The ones for Amarr/in Araz constellation are reasonably good. Numerous missions for the other factions are broken, don't have a good story, chaining unclear/vague (especially compared to those of Amarr: there the completion message of agent includes often suggestion for next agent)

- Fix the COSMOS mission rewards.
Currently a lot of the rewards are BPCs for very special items. The manufacturing of those items can be very difficult (not everybody is into manufacturing and science and has spent months on training for them). A lot of the COSMOS items have poor stats compared to items added to the game afterwards (especially Faction, DS and officer stuff). Very often you need rare, hard to get and therefore expensive items for manufacturing like artifacts and decryptors and as a result the manufacturing becomes not profitable

- Allow the COSMOS missions to be run more often.
Currently you can only run them once. The missions shouldn't be run too often and farmed for their rewards. Once every 3 months like the Epics would be a good balance.

- Fix the Jeremy Tacs missions.
I read the story. Jeremy Tacs was a young player who suffered from a rare muscular or nervous system disorder, spending his last years helping other players in/around Mandoo. After he passed away (2006/2007), CCP made this agent to honor him.
Apparently the mission had some issues: camped, ninja looted, farmed (by fresh alts)... Instead of properly fixing it, CCP chose the easy way out be disabling the agent completely.

Bring back old rat AI.

edit:

I had finally found a usage for the rattlesnake when you took it away. The rattler's poor dps with split damage types (cruise/torp and drones) make a shield-tanked dominix navy issue out-perform it in every way, save as a pure-tank build made for tanking DED sites and pirate anoms while a dps boat mops up the rats.

Make mission running more interesting so it wont be "gun mining." I Mean alot of the missions you get you do over and over again and ofcourse there are some more rare missions. You could do something like "A mission within a mission" thing.
For example:

Let's say i get some random mission when doing lvl 4's.
When i have compleated the mission something is happening.
A Message is incomming "The fleet of Six Kin Development is having a hard time, help him out Nometh Xergent".
And then you can click: Yes or No. Or maybe have a convo with the NPC while you are trying to find him or something like that.
I would love some kind of importance of your character, because sure, my salvage is important to other's because i sell it on the market. But the mission it self.. No. I want to feel a little heroic when i have finally killed that hard boss or those 10 Battleships.

Anyone get what im saying?

Add a cargo check (like with courier missions) if you try and un-dock without the completion items in The Anomaly (2 of 3) and The Anomaly (3 of 3) level 4 missions.

Anomaly 2 has some green neurovisual thingamy (sorry I don't remember the exact name) and Anomaly 3 needs Fajah Ateshi.

When you push F11, the radar down to the right, i would like that more in the game, really.
I want to grab that out of the "F11 bar to the right" and put in in my User interface. I bet it would be a nice module, a real radar that we have in our world now.

Examples on when to use it:
You can see where your fleet members are within the same system.
You can see where the mission is in the system.

Exploration - Escalations to be within 5 jumps of the original system. Not like 28 jumps through null like it can be now.

Give important NPC ships the ability to launch and use drones!

Make it easier to see where fleet members are currently located i.e. mix of where in current system and where in local systems.

Drone's current action (already implemented)
Optimal Range/Falloff Range (very useful for sentries)
