One of the things that EVE has that Dust does not are PVE missions that contain Big Bads
- Pirate Factions
- Rogue Drones
- Sansha Incursions
Right now, mercs are only fighting each other in endless cycles that add zero lore to the game. There is no way to create something with our independent mercs (not even with PC). CCP has started to create player created lore with True Stores and even the Dark Horse comic mini series but that does not exist with Dust.
We had something that was akin to this once when we had the fight for Caldari Prime. This has both Dust Mercs and EVE Pilots fighting for something that impacted the cannon of New Eden and I still hear about how cool the event was and how we need more of this in the future as the game expands.
PvE has long been pushed as something this game desperately needs but we also need to touch on how much of a role it should play in the lives of mercs. It is a massive part of EVE in that players can choose to run missions, take part in incursions (invasions of New Eden by a particular pirate faction), explore, mine or create ships and equipment that are used by other pilots.
While drones might be a good starting point for Dust players, it should only be a quick entry point and by no means something that should occupy mercs for the next year or so. PvE needs to be so much more than that....
- Missions that involve pirate factions with the chance for good loot drops (pirate suits, modules, etc)
- Dust mercs involved in the outcome of incursions
- More cannon events that lead to the immersion of pilots and mercs in the fate of New Eden
It is things like this that will help move this game from a simple lobby shooter and into a unique product for console gamers. It will give an RP effect that many desperately desire and the feel that they are building towards something. It will also give income to players who do not wish to partake in PC and get burnt out by endless cycles of pub matches.

At this rate, we're only about 4 more years from seeing something like that.

I know Eve players want nothing to do with us lowly Dusters invading their precious ships, which is fine, ship interior combat can consist of raiding pirate stations and ships defended by NPC baddies and internal installations like sentry guns.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
