Two types of PVE;
1) Mission PVE:
PVE where all players are friendly. Basically your High Sec PVE. Good for getting new players oriented to DUST combat.
2a) Open District PVE:
You que into a district as an individual or as a squad. Max 32 players in a district, or whatever the game can handle. Squad members are Green. Corp & Alliance members are Blue. Everyone else is yellow, until they shoot you, your squad, or your Corp/Alliance, at which point they turn Red for 5 minutes. (Oh, yeah, and there are Drone infestations. That is what you are officially supposed to be there for.)
2b) Open Corporate District PVE:
Corp members can enter districts owned by their Corp to hunt drones.
Mercs from other Corps can raid PC Districts. Cap on raiders is 12, and cap on defenders is 20, to give a home field advantage and to make it feel like a raid. Raiders donGÇÖt have clones on the surface, and Drop Uplinks donGÇÖt have the range to bring clones in from orbit. So raiders spawn about 500 m off the ground and have some control of their horizontal drift until they activate their inertial dampeners. If a CRU on the surface is hacked it gives the raiders access to 50 clones and the use of Drop Uplinks until those clones are used up.
Raiders can hunt drones or hunt PVEGÇÖers. Raiding should weaken a districts defences, but not dramatically, and definitely not flip a district.
No time limit, but Raiders and Corp members are kicked out when a PC battle starts.

If you want a fight then you need to have your team MCC bring in whatever supplies you think you'll need, including CRUs, vehicles and the RDVs to deploy them. The more I think about what DUST could have been the more irritated I become.
There is still hope. The game is still evolving.

It's worth reading if you're interested in PvE. I'd love to hear any feedback in the linked thread if you have any thoughts.
I would love to see this on the roadmap. It is a bit ambitious for phase 1 though.

The Leadership, Production and Trade skill sets should all be copy-pasted from Eve as well (with minor adjustments for the Leadership Skills) leadership could render some things a bit OP but if done right would make squad leader choice vital. i have all lv5 in leadership and commandships (all 4 races) at level 5 on my EVE char and ou can make a good fleet great witht he right choice. but yeah teh trade and production skills could pretty much be moved straight over. I've said the same about the dropsuits and weapons havign the ame damage tpes/resistances as the ships in EVE in order to finally help balance weapons correctly instead of just a flat +/- 10-20% we have now. and ou could even include resistance plating to really help assault/heavy guys out
Hmm, give DUST characters the same manufacturing abilities as EVE players. They would have to create buy orders and currier contracts to get the materials moved to their system, but if enough of them started doing it, EVE pilots would start selling minerals at the 48 DUST stations, just because there would be a market there.
