I'd like to see missions in which an outpost receives intel that a reaver clan/cartel/organization is coming in force to wipe them out. Upon accepting the mission, a CMDR must travel there. Upon arrival, the CMDR will face endless waves of incoming hostiles until their ship is destroyed, at which point the mission is complete, and the CMDR is rewarded based on their kills.

Why does everyone desire to pull ScFi tropes from other SciFi universes into ED, it's not necessary and lacks imagination and originality, I am sure you could have what you want without pulling Firefly into ED, maybe some special CQC mode.
Nothing wrong with a few tropes.
I humbly beg your pardon, Madame. I suppose they would be "Raiders" in Elite lore if one wishes to be 100.00% technically correct.
I have run into "defend the megaship" situational missions if you drop into certain megaship instances, but that's it.
The point with Reavers in Firefly is that they were part of a long and detailed background storyline, they were integral to the entire series and movie. Just shoving them willy nilly into ED with no background or explanation of how and why they exist is just silly. That's the reason why you shouldn't drag bits of other games and imaginary universes into ED, it has it's own history and lore, Reavers just don't fit anywhere.
More variety in missions is good. It wouldn't even be much work since this is basically the installation pirate attack scenario that happens at every installation.
