I haven’t taken time yet to check the current Projects update, but it’s definitely trending in the right direction. It’s such a good idea I wish I’d thought of it myself. Oh, wait… I did!
I don’t believe they’ve set up a couple of those project types (like station defense / destroy which would allow for targeting specific citadels) yet, so there’s still room for more.
I’d also like to see ways for similar projects/contracts to be offered outside of the corp, as generally available. Something like EVE Pandora campaigns.
