I enjoy combat in Elite as I'm sure many of us do, but combat in Haz Rez sites with a good PvE ship is getting pretty easy now, and assassination missions are something you can pretty much queue up, tick off with not many problems at all and then be on your way. I love the mechanics of both but I feel like I'd like some more challenging and equally rewarding PvE activity against human ships.
I propose that 'Elite Assassination' missions get added to the game, same format as Assassination missions as they are now but higher paying (Above 2 million) and put you against wings of two or three Elite rank NPC ships. I feel like these should be a high risk, high reward endeavor. You might end up paying a several million credit rebuy cost but you could end up earning most of that rebuy cost in a single fight. They should be differentiated in the mission board with "Assassinate Elite Pirate Lord" or "Assassinate Elite Deserter", give them lots of chat dialog with personality to give them more of a 'boss fight' feel.
