So now that we have laid the foundations what next?
Well things id like to see;
FW LP (Loyalty points), So for every win you receive the amount of loyalty points equal to your war points (Just an example!)
Then we need a shop ato spend all of these lovely LPs in!
So what can we seed the FW market with? OFFICER WEAPONS! OFFICER TANKS! OFFICER DROPSUITS! (I can dream.. aye?)
id also like a way to maybe save enough LP to buy the odd booster, maybe only have 1 and 3 day boosters on there for crazy LP but at the end of the day it would be nice if we can have people who cant afford AUR to be able to keep up.
Id also like to see some variants of AUR weapons on the LP store so we can try before we buy, but only if you have earned it! Eh, I'm against Officer weapons being available for LP/Standings... I'd much prefer aurum variants specific to faction. Spend LP/Standings and get a Prototype Assault Rifle that performs the same but requires Operation 3 with an awesome weapon skin. This would give incentive for new players and old players for different reasons.
What about a Faction variant of the weapon - something that is between the power of a Prototype and an Officer weapon? That way, Officer weapons keep their high meta level (rarity) and damage, and Faction is still something to grind for that you can't simply just buy with ISK, giving people some incentive and a selection of an end-game to grind and win (Faction Warfare).
If you make the Faction variants marginally better than the Prototype equivalent, it will make people still more conservative of them, but at least you have something different to see on the battlefield and kill (plus, remember guys, if you kill someone with a high meta level weapon such as this or an officer weapon, you score more ISK for your team [assuming the ISK gained in battle is a result of destroying people/vehicles/installations]), this will add a lot of fun and variety on the field, and would give people a reason to play after capping out their weekly SP or logging in to get the log-on SP that was added in 1.4. Aside from these reasons, I typically have no reason to play this game, since there is absolutely no incentive when you have enough ISK to buy whatever you need.
You implement this system, CCP, and I will throw my wallet at you (not individual bills), and you can expect to see me online every damn day (This or PVE would work wonderfully, and perhaps I might not buy any more games if Dust 514 fulfills all of my needs/expectations).
Just my 2 cents.

Quick Edit: I just thought after I made this post; Do you (CCP) have retroactive data on people's stats for Faction Warfare, such as WP, kills, wins/losses, etc.?
It would be awesome if we could grind now and see a result of our efforts when a system like this comes out in the future. |

Loyalty points, meh. Just another currency.
I would say make it a little more interesting than a form of currency. For instance, there should be "Officer Maps" (to please the OP) from each faction that are not able to be played until you have played enough battles for said faction consecutively. The benefit of these maps is that grant much more rare/expensive salvage and bigger ISK payday at the end, as well as the chance to play a rare map!
Because Loyalty points are only good for a faction's stuff but if you are like me, and use a soup of gear, ISK is better.
Don't want to fight for the Amarr to get special edition Scramber Pistols?
Hell, I might even fight a bit for Amarr to get a sweet pistol from them, when that time comes. |

You are just regurgitating what CCP said about having multiple currencies; if this game is so dull as to only utilize isk and aurum, then I might as well pre-order Destiny, cause this game simply won't have the complexity in user choice (as far as action and methodology) that I thought it was capable of. |
