I think it would be neat if there were bot refining centers (or just military installations of any kind) connected to asteroids, then you could have missions where you had to move through and blow up various parts of the base according to a mission.

The same turrets that are used for the cap ship could be used on the roids. And it would be easily adaptable to group missions.

"There's a bunch of really cool design that's happened in the last month or so, that I think you will all find very exciting.. basically a change in focus and behaviour for the Hive, and the alteration of our current "stupid respawning bots" into an actual organized, dynamic (and partially defeatable) PvE faction, along with the introduction of something larger than a Queen (heheh). I think this is really going to make the whole botting thing much more interesting and purposeful, both for individuals going after bots, as well as for major guilds who want something on the scale of an Epic raid."

Name the source. :D

ooh ooh... is it Julie Andrews?

Naw. Julie Andrews woulda said that with a British accent and a spoonful of sugar.

It's gotta be Audrey Hepburn.

no no, "Julie Andrews" is what is referred to by "something larger than a Queen (heheh)".

I am glad to see someone with a bit more clout then I suggesting something like this, hopefully it will be taken more seriosly then when I've suggested this.

Perfect idea Shape, would love to be able to take a mission where I had to take out a military instilation, or outpost. This would add a whole new dimention to the game.
