Rewards:
Planetary Production Randomiser
Takes all the production points of a chosen planet, and randomly re-allocates them into 2 chosen productions.
eg, a desert with Very rich artifact (9 pts), rich research(8 pts) and abundant mining (5 pts) would have 22 production points randomly reallocated into 2 chosen stats (could be 21 into one, 1 into another, or 11 into both)

Gotta say that I am loving the RSL Boss Idea.

Really? Why?

And what about my king of the hill planets?

Missions
Combat Training:
Ungrey requirements: Rank 100, 50 PvP kills. This mission will be non-terminating, but you will need 25 more PvP kills than last time to un-grey it again.
(Race), Your fighting skills are very good, as is proven by your record in the field. However, recently we have noticed you have been using our repair bay a lot. You need to sharpen your skills...

Reward per completion: heightened combat senses: give +10% attack and defence for a week. cannot be removed. Stacks with other artifacts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harnessing the Singularity (Follow on mission to Investigating a black hole)
Using your findings, our scientists may have found a way to harness the sheer gravitational pull of black holes to reduce energy loss. Assist them with gathering more data and constructing a prototype.

Risks per round: Singularity pull (additional energy loss)
Two completions.
Reward on Completion: Ship module: Dark Void Power Generator
Size 20, +20 Energy capacity, -40 energy loss from relays
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trade Embargo (follow on mission to Disrupt Trade Route)
Our efforts to disrupt our enemies' trade routes have only caused them minor problems. They are still receiving more than enough resources to keep attacking us. We must stop this at the source. Follow one of their trade frigates to their base, and form a blockade. Don't let a single ship leave.

Risks per round: return fire (mid chance for mid damage), Trade ship escapes (small chance, mission failure)
Chance to earn: Mass storage pod or Tessarect container (low chance).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trade Clearance
Ungrey requirements: Rank xxx
As a result our recent large scale battle with the rogue science league, the space near to our trade centre in sector T has become very dangerous due to all the debris that is floating around. The merchants will pay you very well if you clear the space for them. You may also keep anything that you happen to find.

Risks: Collision with space debris (minor damage), Damaged Weapon Malfunction (high damage), Damage to trade ship (costs you xxxxx credits).
Chance to find: CTP (1-5), damaged experiment (minor RP), Reactivated ship (random RSL uncommon or better ship appears on your BT).

Rewards on completion: xxxxx Credits, Merchant's reward (artifact which grants 4 hours of EITHER artifact or mineral production)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission chain

Meteor Defences (follow on mission to Prevent Meteor Impact)
If it wasn't for your timely actions, we would have lost several valuable colonies. However, a greater challenge is ahead of us. Our scientists predict there will be a huge meteor storm in Sector M soon. The meteors you destroyed were only the start. Help us to develop some effective defences.

5-10 completions?
Reward on Completion: C.O.M.E.T (counter obliteration meteorite extermination turret)
Planet structure, Size 1, adds 100 defence and 5% attack bonus. Limit 1/planet
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unintentional Benefits:
Intergalactic merchants are currently searching for a rare form of mineral known as astrodon. Initial analysis of the early meteors shows that their cores are in fact very rich in this mineral. We must not pass up this opportunity - help us develop a way to collect the debris from the meteors we will have to destroy.

Two completions
Reward on Completion: Ship module: Space dust Vacuum (on completion)
Size 10, +20 scan, +5% mining production to the planet you are currently guarding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking Care of the Competition...
With our vacuums complete, we are ready to take full advantage of the meteor storm. However, some of our rivals have heard of our plans to collect the debris. Give them a friendly "Warning" to stay away, or else.

Risks: Return fire (minor damage), diplomatic problems (small chance of mission failure)

5 completions?
Reward on Completion: Battle with astro-miner (matched ship, drops mineral hold which grants 8 hours of mineral production)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reaping the Rewards
The storm has started, as predicted, and with no competition there will be a LOT of minerals to gather. Keep an eye out for the astrodon cores - one merchant claims he can fashion something special out of it if he gets enough, for a small fee of course.

Risks: Stray asteroid (heavy damage)
One completion
Astrodon infused phaser (on completion)
Ship module, size 10, attack 40. Bonus doubles when invading. Bonus Triples when mining is the most abundant resource (including joint most abundant) on the target planet.

Beware when fighting them, as they will be targeting your energy supply.

The RSL Boss makes more use out of the Battle Pacts other than just attacking a base once every 8 hours. It also makes it less likely to be knocked off the rewards. More bosses like this would be great. It would add some more "teamwork" to the game. Question: Would Genetarr ability be useable against an NPC of this caliber?

I also saw your other post and like a lot of it.
I edited some (a lot) out.* The stuff that remains are items that I would really love to see in GL.

When I'm thinking of high rank content, what I usually am talking about is something persistent instead of one shot missions (since you do it and then it's done, back to the drawing board).

Single player content would be like new matched NPC dropping planet passives for example; or repeatable randomized missions spawning unique NPCs with multiple races represented as targets with interesting abilities. Legion content is like legion level bosses (ala raids I guess) that is a huge thing with like 1M+ health and a week time limit, that takes 20-30 people to take out.

The problem is the story line missions are one-shot. Need a set of randomized things to keep occupied. Like "next mission available in 4 or 8 hours".

Combat Training:
Ungrey requirements: Rank 100, 50 PvP kills. This mission will be non-terminating, but you will need 25 more PvP kills than last time to un-grey it again.
(Race), Your fighting skills are very good, as is proven by your record in the field. However, recently we have noticed you have been using our repair bay a lot. You need to sharpen your skills...

Reward per completion: heightened combat senses: give +10% attack and defence for a week. cannot be removed. Stacks with other artifacts.

How about a mission that requires 10000 FlameHawk kills, not sure what the reward would be though

No more flamehawks
