I have an idea. I'm not sure wether its been said before, but I'll say it anyway.
Contact missions are largely an untapped, ready-made resource for some variety to missioning in this game. I say untapped, because a large amount of people have never bothered to do at least one of them never mind all of them. Why? Because they give poor XP, Info and basically have no rewards. Plus the generic mission system is much easier and quicker to use to set up a mission for some quick leveling or whatever.
Now, why are they included, if nobody does them?
Why not include a 'Pandora box-esque' mission system a long with them (I'm not asking for a carbon copy of Pandora's box). Add a special item or XP bonus granter to the mission system to give to the person who completes however many or which ever mission contact. The benefits of this are that it puts to use a largely unused part of the game and adds some new content, both for lowbies and 50's, with minimal effort (e.g. the Devs dont have to create large amounts of new missions, as they already exist).
So, what do you think?
