It would be nice to see future events use those Nomad asteroids they used to drop in NL that had to be chipped away at by miners.
Here's an idea too, we could use a new Nomad attack for the first time in a while... Drop a few of those giant asteroids into the server, maybe one in each capital system, call it an invasion (or one at a time, when one dies another pops up in another capital). Make them super strong and let Nomad players operate in those systems as long as it survives. Maybe add some npc spawns, and Nomad flyers can use them as bases/warp points. Set their HP super high, like a billion or 1.5 bil points. Then players can get to work removing them.
To sweeten that pot, if they had an automatic regen rate, it would be epic. Nomad players could defend for a bit longer and stretch out the 'crisis' as long as they do well fending off human ships.
Everyone is also discussing missions, and as a radical suggestion, stuff like that would open up the door to player faction hosted missions, basically kill missions, or damage mission. Meaning factions could open it up to members or appropriate FL's to earn pay for inflicting a bare minimum damage per attack. Since we have numerical damage displayed now, you can show where you attacked a base and did x million damage. That can also be worth a bounty like 10 mil for doing 20 mil damage. I know it would mean a mini war but players would put all that mission practice to work for a bit until the asteroids are gone. At least it interrupts the grind of trading and missions. Of course, to include traders, can always run some supply route into the attack zone to a nearby base to spice things up while fighting goes on.
