New Eden is a harsh place, and nowhere is truly safe.
CCP have rogue drone PvE on their roadmap, which is great as it has the potential to dramatically improve new player retention for Dust.
However, in order to keep the "never safe" feeling alive, I'd love it if there was a mechanism for PvP teams to "raid" PvE battles.
It would have to be done in a way that wouldn't be totally one-sided griefing though, with at least a reasonable chance that the PvE group get something out of it. Maybe they should pay several million ISK, which would be distributed to the PvE team at the end of the battle. Also, the system would need to balance itself so that raids would be very rare for low level beginner PvE, but reasonably common for the highest levels of PvE.
There could also be things that the PvE teams can do to reduce (or increase) the impact of the raid. Lets say your squad spawns in and you realise their are raiders in with you; instead of (or as well as) concentrating on the drones you have to find and hack one of a number of objectives, and doing so will eject the raiders from your battle. Or maybe PvE squads could pay a warpoint "tax" in return for a lower risk of being raided. |

If it is possible but very rare then it just adds a bit of excitement. |

Of course 
The drones wouldn't know there were being defended, so would attack the raiding party just as enthusiastically as the PvE squads. |

Yeah the rats are a PVE element, but if you're in low or nullsec, you're open from attack from the PVP players. This guy takes it in a more agreeable direction.
I was thinking along those lines anyway. I just don't think anywhere should be 100% safe - well, maybe a few starter systems in 1.0 space. 99% safe, OK.
Or maybe CCP will have mission levels, same as in Eve. Tutorial agents would be 100% safe. L1 agents are 95% safe, L2 are 80% safe, etc. |

I suspect that without PvE Dust will remain busted. |
