(PLEASE GIVE NOTE) -I love the idea of specialist weapons and loyalty points.
BUT not with the two things mentioned here.
1. Do not completely replace ISK rewards if you are required both LP and ISK to obtain specialist weapons.
a. If players must spend two types of currency that can only be obtained through separate types of game play. If i'm spending ISK on gear to play FW without compensation then i will have to go back to pub matches to make the difference.
b. We all know that proto gears costs an arm and a leg, and if FW actually has a meaningful objective, imagine the ISK value per match. Even with infinite LP you can't buy anything in the specialist store if you don't have the ISK.
SUMMARY: Point is that not having any compensation for the weapons lost, you can only get so far without having to stop and go back to pub. I would like to be able to push for long periods of time in FW without having to constantly spend billions of ISK, go back to pub get more and come back.
SIDE NOTE: On the other hand this could manage the pushes of FW activity so you could initiate changes more smoothly,
limit the amount of proto used (but really only for poorer players[like me P]), and make it more stable for the tracking standings etc.
SOLUTION: Make it a lower percentage of ISK then you would normally receive, simply adjusting the balance between ISK and LP could solve those problems.
2. DO NOT make LP exclusive to just your faction store.
Just like real world economy, these stores should have values placed for EVERY form of LP. The true value being that of which corporation your fighting for, but lets say you go over to this other corp store, you should still be able to buy their equipment but with the value of your LP adjusted to how close those factions are.
SYSTEM: lets say you belong to FACTION ONE or FAC1 with LP Valued at 1
at a FAC2 store = .5
enemy FAC3 store = worthless
ally FAC4 = .75
FOR EXAMPLE: G1 has exactly 100 LP,
G1 likes to fight for FAC1
G1 buys an item from FAC1 store for 50 LP
G1 now has 50LP
well GI saw a FAC2 variant of the same item valued at the same price.
but now because he is shopping at a (FAC2) store G's LP is only valued at 25LP (or FAC2 item variant is100LP)
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR EDITS WELCOME
FIGHT FOR A CAUSE, EVEN IF IT'S NEXT TO YOU.

I see your points, heres the problem -
Yes these issues could be fixed with a player market, but as far as ive seen these FW changes are going to happen sooner then that.
There are players who have that kind of money, but i'm not one of them, and i hate militia grinding, so until the player market is open ISK is already an issue, this would make it even more frustrating for a multitude of players with more ISK problems.
