Design your mission contest

There are many Topics about mission variaty found in this forum, and as mission runner I can understand that.
It gets boring after a while doing the same lvl 4 mission again and again.
There were ideas about a random mission generator, some more variables in mission-spawns, even player created missions.
Well, to implement that in the game would be very hard I think, and it is not a very important thing for ccp at the moment.
So why not outsource the main problem (spending time in designing missions) and make a contest where players can send in their mission suggestions.
Just like that "create your ship" contest, just for missions. Use the creativity of the pilots among New Eden!!

Entries could look like this (for kill-missions):

Mission Name: XXXXXXXXX
Level: 1-4 (or 5)
Faction: XXXXXXXX
Enemy Faction(s): XXXXXXXX

Difficulty: 1-10

Description: (For example a short overview, just like what Agents tell you in mission-briefing)

Spaws: - Room 1: acceleration gate, no enemy NPC
- Room 2: Group 1: X Frigs (web/scramble) , auto-aggress , 30km away
Y Cruisers ..............
Z Battleships (trigger)
Group 2: ..............................
- Room 3:

... and so on

Maybe sort of location sketches for each room with start point, spawn points, other objects...

That could give ccp the chance to get a lot of new mission-ideas without much work. Players have the chance to win PLEX
for example, or merchandising-stuff, or ingame-items. AND they may find missions designed by themselves in game!

Some pilots need a high-five..... in their face...... with a chair.....

Could be useful for CCP and a great oportunity for a player to get their content into the game, but each one would have to be heavily screened by CCP as these types of things have been abused in other games.
