Rogue (and/or hostile-controlled) drones are nice, but that's just one faction. The AI for them might be a bit simpler (not that I'm a programmer or anything), so it's a good start. I'd like to see the pirate factions pop up in humanoid form as well, though. Human infantry & vehicles in the branding of the Angel Cartel, Blood Raiders, etc. all depending on whether you're in space they operate in (just like their ships pop up in EVE).
I'd be fine with CCP adapting EVE's other PvE systems to Legion.
- Salvaging! An EVE newbro staple. I've heard that CCP is already working on something involving loot-dropping enemy drones to shoot at.
- Want to shoot rocks all day? Go for it. Maybe the materials mined from planets could be different from those mined from asteroids and those materials could be used to make infantry gear and vehicles. If CCP is lazy, the minerals could even just be lower-quality versions of the current minerals in game. Alternatively, instead of shooting rocks with mining lasers, the aforementioned salvaging system could be adapted and mining drones could drop minerals. This could make the two PvE modes feel kind of redundant, though.
- Industry! Use the mining and salvaging materials listed above and make stuff. Invention could be worked in, too.
- Want to do something that aids an EVE player's PI? Great, take a cut of the materials or something.
- Mission running is almost a no-brainer. Some basic story arcs could be thrown in and, as long as there's AI to shoot, adding missions is pretty much a must.
- If we somehow get large, open world planets, then exploration and hacking could come into play.
Of course, the rewards, quality/price of materials, etc from these activities should be scaled in value depending on the security status of the system you're in (as well as the current market, of course). If you're in lowsec or nullsec, however, you're going to have to run the risk of hostile players coming in, shooting you, and taking whatever drops. Mechanics for how they get there will have to be worked in. I have another suggestion for that.
[edit] Oh, and the time-honored tradition of hisec ganking followed by getting concordokken'd should be included. :3
