Either way talks are ongoing. This wouldn't either, as of right now people do get "free" officers weapons. This was a suggestion to include an incentive for possibly a premium subscription. hell no, free officer weapons is like furthest thing from most of the cpm's minds, we know how much officer gear sells for in new eden we wouldn't want these things dropping that much more often. The CPM should keep pushing the possibilities of vanity/visual benefits as a path of monetisation. With heavy emphasis on corps in and corporate identity (to the point of entire corps posting and acting almost exclusively in-character (grr goons!)) in New Eden i see a potent market for several offerings, such as:
Personal and Corpwide custom suit/vehicle paint schemes. Can be made available in tiers e.g.:
I) Generic colors from limited pallette
II) Above with extended pallete and simple patterns (classic camos, fractals etc.)
III) All of the above, alternate material shaders (flat/worn, rusted, carbon, gold ) and the ability to paint parts individually for "one of a kind" designs (client performance concerns?).
Alliance ads:
I)Alliance Banners in PC/FW war barges during selected timezones (open corp info when interacted with)
II) Corp/Alliance description on Merc quarter TV
Making all of those tradeable items (like PLEX) would allow corp leaders to pay for them through taxes and hopefully alleviate the "who's paying for it?" issue. It keeps those features from being locked behind a solid paywall aswell.
To get to the topic CCP could also bundle these with subs:
"Mercenary" sub nets one 30day booster and tier I personal colors, Some AUR.
"Veteran" sub includes one 30day booster+ tier II personal and tier I corp colors, Some AUR
"Elite" sub includes tier III customization and banners (+benefits for corpmates? 1day boosters, even?!).

This might be a good idea, for one type of subscription, but not everyone would want this option as a subscription. This might be good as a "In Game" subscription for corporations.
True, some of these might or might not be attractive to some players/corps/alliances. A balance has to be found between customizability of these packs and the need to keep clutter at a minimum.
