Introducing The Winter Expansion - EVE Online: Lifeblood

I’ve been a PvE player mainly in high sec for over 9 years. I’ve also been an active member of these forums for almost as long. I don’t know why some players keep saying most high sec PvE players want new group oriented PvE content added to the game. I haven’t seen a lot of requests for that and as a solo player, that’s something I don’t particularly want. More importantly, there’s already plenty of options available in game to make that happen.

New missions? Sure, but I’d like to see those come from new agents based on exploration. And I’m not talking about killing Drifters or doing Burner type missions. I’m talking about having ‘Search & Rescue’ and ‘Retrieval’ type missions that involve scanning down mission specific sites in known space as well as scanning and entering mission specific w-holes, then scan down the mission site, complete the objective and report back to agent.

Some missions could incorporate Logistics game play, such as provide remote repair on a station or find and repair a stranded ship. There could even be multi-part mission’s that incorporate Industry game play, such as retrieve a few specific items which have to be assembled with some minerals to create an item which is used to complete the final mission. Since it’s an exploration agent, all missions would involve probe scanning mission specific sites in both known space and w-hole space.

That’s the type of new PvE content I’d like to see added to the game. Content that will utilize all of my skills, content that I can complete solo without having to rely on other players who may or may not show up.
