I like the idea of being able to infiltrate a rogue drone facility and hack the main computer to unleash a drone horde on the occupying force.
I also think most of the PvE should (and probably will) be exploratory, the way scanning is done in EVE. You will have some base level planetary scanning where you can find some basic battlegrounds. To find anything valuable, you'll need scanning skills and equipment.
In my opinion, anyone in the corporation that owns the district who's online when someone lands, they'd get a notification that someone has landed in the district and they'd be able to deploy relatively nearby to track down the trespassers. This is where the PvPvE would really come in. Or, of course, multiple people investigating the same place that just happen to run across each other.
I would like to see EVE pilots have the ability to scan planets also, so that if you aren't based on a planet someone from EVE can still pick up mercs to go investigate something they discovered on a planet.

Sort of. You can never be completely free from the constraints of the game you're playing. Even if I just handed you a blank page, you'd still have to use the words of some language or another to write a story. And the fact is, the only way to keep PvE out of PvP is to keep PvP out of PvE, effectively making them two separate games. And EVE never takes PvP entirely out of PvE. Nor does it really take PvE out of PvP completely: if you want to be competitive in PvP, you need the resources produced and developed by people who play PvE.
With the ideas being discussed here, if you don't want to PvE, you don't have to. Contract it out to someone else. Have people in your corp who like to PvE. In fact, if all you want to do is PvP, why are you even involved in planetary conquest? And if you're involved in planetary conquest, you already have non-PvP things to consider: district and clone management.
Bottom line: These ideas won't force anybody to do anything. They'll add interesting dimensions to planetary conquest and management. If all you really want to do is PvP, nobody's making you do anything else. |

I can't imagine they'd allow PVE to take over a district. There's not a sufficient risk/reward balance, for one thing. PVE might influence PVP, but it shouldn't replace it. |
