If we could get counter-hacks to count towards the objective hack missions that'd be nice. Maybe even hack assists, if you're feeling generous. When you need to complete that mission for a key or gear you really like, it really sucks when you only just barely missed getting the hack by a fraction of a second. Trying to get those hacks during the Krin's Salvage Run was especially tedious, because everyone stacked kincats to try to get there first. If the objectives didn't flip or I didnt get there first, I was screwed that match. And I'm sure there are some jackasses who waited for a point to flip to hack it back, so that they can get that point toward their mission, even though that risked putting us closer to a loss. Encouraging us to counter-hack if we're able would do wonders.
How these things could be abused: Very obviously if you've got a buddy on the other team you can constantly hack an objective back and forth for free points, but we don't see that in mormal game play as is, so I don't see it as a potential threat. Letting hack assists count I don't really see as detrimental at all. If anything, it encourages you to hack with other people. Both to get the hack done faster and more safely and to get them points to their mission reward. It also let's people relax on trying to get the hack themselves, so if someone is able they can stop hacking to shoot back, and still be rewarded for the assist.

Things like:
Obtain 100 kills with a Non-starter Suit. (if this is a possible tag)
Obtain 10k WP
Join a Player Corporation (?)
This way NPE can have long term goals to work toward, that could also help steer them to better paths in DUST.
Other missions that would be interesting:
Complete / Win 1 match in X game mode
In addition to this, could we have persistent newbie missions to get them to try out different suits/roles to see which playstyle they like best? One batch of missions could be scout oriented, another logi, another slayer, etc. This probably already falls in line with the 'specialist mission' thing that was already suggested, but having role oriented newbie missions to help them settle into what they may enjoy the most sounds like it could be good.
