Because of a comment from CCP FoxFour and the lack of follow-up about it the forums are having a heated discussion about LP earnings in faction warfare. The comment was 651 max LP at level 10 per match. I'll try and find a link to it shortly and update this post. Even if that comment was incorrect or taken out of context I decided to do some analysis.
I find that if I'm fighting to win I will lose an average of five suits per match. The allows me to be both aggressive and have fun without overly worrying about loss. I've designed both an advanced and a prototype level fit that feels right for defending the Republic to use as my baseline. They are designed for survival, some mobility and with the only faction rifle available to me at this time.

How much should an loyalty point be worth on the open market?
Shouldn't I be able to sustain my advanced suit within faction warfare once I reach a mid-level, say level 5 standings?
Should I be able to run the prototype fit once I can sustain level 10 standings.
Should I be able to make a profit by selling extra gear on the market, meaning I need more than the LP consumed by my own fittings and the conversion of excess gear to ISK?
If we do indeed reach a maximum of 651 LP per match at level 10 then I will not be able to continue to fight for my Republic without seriously subsidizing my losses through public matches. That means more pressure on the rookies as I'll need to fight to earn top ISK.
