Organization of PVE Content

The idea I would like to propose is an improvement to the information provided to the player on the PVE content out there. I have run all of the lvl 1-4 cosmos for Caldari and most of Amarr and have had a lot of fun going through these, as well as enjoying the nice chunk of change you can get from selling the final implant.

This content is actually fairly cool (bpcs that you get and manufacturing of them need to be fixed), but currently there's nothing in-game that I'm aware of that makes you aware of the COSMOS missions, or the Faction and Pirate Epic Arcs.

A UI that combined the standard agent finder with another display that showed the special PVE content would be awesome. It should categorize based on type (beginning epic arc, faction epic arc, pirate epic arc, COSMOS, CONCORD, etc.). As a side note, calling out the difference of R&D agents from others would be a nice feature too.

It should also call out that the COSMOS are one time only and that you should not start them until you're comfortable that you can complete the missions. The Epic Arcs could display a count-down timer for when it resets for you.

Also it could show the starter agents for all of these missions and the next agent once a mission is complete. I know the COSMOS don't have a technical ordering, but the guides all go like that and there are several items you get early on that you have to have later, so may as well treat them that way.

I really think this is something where having a page to display pertinent information and for people to be able to check off a list of things they've done PVE wise would be awesome.

Also, the content is actually really cool in my opinion (even doing the beginner epic arc as a vet player was pretty fun), and it would be great if there was a better system for letting players know about the content and track their progress.
