Missions & Complexes

Of course, but at what expense. We all have our own preferred direction ccp should goin.

Have any ideas for missions yourself?

Tell me about the unpredictable dread pirate mission, resubbed and not mission end in. Awhile, curious how that works?

I 100% agree with PVE needs something done with it. Pretty much all the missions and what not feels the same. Also, the AI is pretty stupid. However, I understand fixing this will take a long time. While making missions shouldn't take that long (I think).

However, I find it stupid how limited we are on how many missions they are for a game as old as EVE Online. I wish CCP made a SMALL team of people that put out missions every month +/-. There is no reason why there isn't a few missions that aren't on EVE Survival.
(I'm not talking about faction missions. Most people like myself stay away from these missions.)

Programming it would be actually easy. Balancing it, well, that's another story.

i would apreciate if the current mixture becomes random first so.

means the bounty stays the same overall in the mission or nearly. But Ship Combinations spawn randomly (50k bounty cruiser could be 2 25k frigs or 4 10k frigs or the other way around) that would make missions more interestingly to begin with.

I would like to see l4's that require high SP pilots flying fairly pimped out smaller combat ships to complete. Restricted to vessels of the intended size for instance "this mission restricted to destroyer class ships".

I won't go into nuts and bolts of all the changes required for the implementation of this idea as it would require many. Probably the biggest issue would be making the ISK per hour comperable to L4 BS missions and justifying that since it is more costly to run a pimped BS vs a pimped destroyer.

Elite level missions( elite as in npcs are about as strong as 75% a player ship of that size of course piloted by a moron)
tired of missions where a battleship does like a 100 damage its like damn those are some MIGHTY CIVILIAN GUNS YOU GOT THERE

I'd like to see advanced agents.

L4A's or something.
Have access start at 9.0 with a npc corp or something along those lines.

Just make them all like AE and Dread Scarlet level difficulty minimum and have some that go about 20-30% harder.

Could be a nice testing ground for what could become a full PvE overhaul.

I just wish I had different NPC pirates to shoot honestly. I've been shooting Angels and Serpentis since I can remember... would be nice if there was some backstory where guristas and blood raiders etc pop up in my missions.

every time this topic comes up, people repeat the same bad ideas. firstly, randomizing the spawns in a mission is inherently at least one of two things: irrelevant or annoying. for example if you vary the size of the waves between small and OHMYGODMYFACEISMELTING, all you do in the long run is favor the rattlesnake and marauders with their huge tank over all the other mission ships. same goes for randomizing the faction you fight against: people just switch to machs, vargurs and CNRs (and the rest comes crying to the forums).
increasing the difficulty of missions across the board may be a good idea, but you have to do so without increasing the payouts (lvl4s are too profitable as it is). making all of them equally difficult on the other hand would only take away more flavor and make them more boring than they already are.
bottom line, unless you want to commit to a complete overhaul, the best thing you can do is maybe add a few well balanced missions to the pool and make some quality of lime improvements (why do i have to dock after every mission?) while preserving the isk/hr.
