They still have the Hunt missions. Did a lot of those during my exploration time, great way to farm Spinmetal. The beacon missions they have so far are: 1. Hunt Missions- kill a high value target in a certain location. They even have one that is an actual boss instead of a regular mob. 2. Kill X Enemies Missions- straight forward "Sweep & Clear" and "Cosmodrone Cordon" missions. 3. Gather Missions- You kill certain enemies, they drop stuff. Really easy in groups. 4. Scout Missions- You go to a certain location and you stand there for a while to "scout" the area. 5. Scan Missions- You go to a certain area and your Ghost scan it for information, very similar to Scout Missions. I believe those are the ones they have available right now (please correct me if I am wrong) and I certainly wouldn't complain if they added a few more missions types, but keep in mind that a minimal portion of the population will probably actually do a lot of exploration missions and of those even fewer will do them in every area. Most will wait until they level up completely before they start venturing out and exploring. As far as public events go, I wouldn't want to be constantly interrupted by them, I think maybe a little bit higher frequency would be nice, but definitely not too much. I do like the idea of chained events too.
