In the future, it would be interesting if you could squad up with a fleet, and perhaps do some sort of linked mission(s).

For example:

Capturing the points on the ground to disable surface to space weapons, while the fleet up top clears hostiles and (clone or drone) production facilities so the ground team benefits. etc etc.


Anyhoo, I like PvE content. Anything is possible, with a little patience.

Level 1 - Soloable in standard gear and militia gear.
Level 2 - Best you use all standard gear all though possible in militia gear in a small squad.
Level 3 - Best you use Advanced gear all though it is possible in standard gear in a small squad.
Level 4 - Best you use Prototype gear and run in a squad as hostiles hit very high damage.
Level 5 - Best you use Prototype/Officer and have high level skills you will need to be in a squad!

These are what you would expect to be using for each mission level 1 - 2 would be possible for newer players. Level 2 - 3 would be some what possible for intermediate players and small corps. Level 4 - 5 you would need prototype gear and larger corporations in order to form organised efficient squads.

+1 I like the idea. PVE would really do Dust good.

Although, I would suggest a slight alteration.


Here would be my rework of the levels.

Level 1 - Solo-able in Standard/ Militia gear.
Level 2 - Solo-able in Advanced gear. Possible for small squad in STD.
Level 3 - Solo-able in Prototype gear. Possible for small squad in AVD.
Level 4 - Requires squad tactics and coordination. Possible with full AVD squad, preferably PRO.
Level 5 - Challenging to full proto squad. Preferably for full proto 16 man teams.

Basically what your idea, just bumped down a notch to encompass a 16 man team at the end. The difference between standard and militia isn't enough to warrant an additional level IMO.

Just my thoughts.

I approve.

PVE is needed in this game...

Didn't need to read any further. I did anyway.
+1

I had an idea where agents give you a mission that is like "Kill 5 Caldari Assaults" and when you turn the mission in, you get like 15,000 ISK and 500 SP. Just a thought I had at school.

Full squads of 6 should be the max.

Hmmm. So would there be any opportunity for 16 man teams in PvE?

Either that, or maybe bump up the squad size to 8. Often times I have more than 6 players and it'd be nice if we could all jump into the same PvE.

There is a possibility of keeping the mission levels as you stated, and additionally having an incursion mode or something. Also a horde/ wave mode.

OP... Awesome post !
100% agreed 150% needed 1000000% signed!

Devs could you please switch this to feedback/request

But then it would've only gotten 10% of the views it's gotten.

Great idea. I'd much rather be grinding missions than pubs right now.
