And really, if CCP wanted to devote some resources towards it, it could also open up avenues of potentially upgraded player photos from the 8 available. Maybe some T2 suits or varied poses. It's small, but it's something players would want to work really hard towards. |

O, I definitely agree. But a change like this is small, light on the programming and something players can strive for easily. Pretty much a home run for work hours/results. I don't know the backend complexities of CCP's code, but it might not be entirely unreasonable to think that one of their programmers could bang this out in an afternoon. |

Maybe you get some fancy new things?
How about this:
When you get to lvl 10, you get to change your faction.
When you change faction, you get brand new IMPROVED merc quarters. If you picked what you already had, it gets all shiny, and everyone who changes faction gets a shiny version of that one as well.
EVERYONE WINS!

Haha, you get the pleasure of knowing you've been tied to the faction you wish to represent all along without having to cringe every time you look in the mirror. 
Ultimately I do think additional cosmetic rewards would be a fantastic idea for everyone (particularly player portraits) but for now this requires no new art assets and should be a pretty quick change from a programming standpoint. We can get crazy with it later. |

You know what? A couple days ago, I was checking my Corporation's districts and when I backed out from the starmap, my merc quarter was shrouded in a beautiful blue light, because of some sort of bug.
It was simply wonderful, the light was suffused and looked very realistic, it even reflected on my dropsuit.
I swear... I didn't want to join a battle or to turn my PS3 off, but in the end I had to. I'm still crying about that, because I want it back so badly...

This would be to CHANGE citizenship. Like if I didn't want to be a Gallente anymore so I fought for Minmatar instead until I hit faction level 10. Then I could change my citizenship over to become a Minmatar citizen. |

Great idea. Perhaps an avatar change could be optional though and not have to go with the citizenship? It would be interesting seeing a mercenary in local who is not a gallentean for once. As long as citizenshiy and avatar changes are optional, on seperate counts, im cool with this idea. I'd probably deny citizenship though at least for more amarr alt because i love chanting 'death to the Empress' in local chat. It makes other Amarrians so mad. Also, let them keep their original racial starter fits. So if they were Caldari, and they became a Gallentean citizen, they could still keep those caldari starter fits, not earn new ones. I know some people who pick different races just for the different starter fittings. Plus you have to have something to remind you of your past, no matter how dark. |

just to be clear when you said new quarters did you mean change from gallante to caldari quarters or do you mean entirely different quarters, because i would love to see a temple with divine statues and a fountain for the Amar or a luxurious space penthouse with a view of the local planets for the gallante.
And being able to walk around in nice Templar robes while in the quarters or the warbarge would be nice too.
but alas the art for all that would be enormous.

Hah, yeah you nailed it on the art being enormous. Ultimately I'd LOVE to have things like that introduced but for now let's not pull resources away fro cosmetic purposes and get the things we NEED in this game added in. So (for the time being!) just changing to the other racial quarters. |

I think there would be arguments on both sides but ultimately people would be upset if citizenship could just be bought instead of earned. Maybe in the future you can pay off a politician or something. |

The problem is that none of the Nations would grant us that after already throwing us out following the violent rampages that first-generation soldiers using the original Sleeper implants caused. There's a reason why none of them employ the tech they made themselves in their own armed forces, that we can only fight on contracts delivered via proxy corporations.
Hell, Capsuleers can at least join the Militia. We're not even allowed to do that.

I'd like this. I assume there's some "flag" denoting our quarters, portrait, and available starter fits. Having a primarily "cosmetic" purchase option in the LP store would work. It'd be great if it just straight out "gave" you the starter fits for that race, but I'd also be fine with swapping out your current set with the race you're re-aligning to.

Sometimes you just need to keep bumping it regularly. People get caught up in the "whatever" crisis of the moment, and those kinds of posts/problems are bigger issues. Something like this has a more passive impact on things in the background, and I think it's not at the top of devs' lists of things to do either.

That's true. Getting a faction to 10 in EVE is kinda ridiculous as well. It's possible that a lower threshold for the "option" to alter citizenship might make it more useful. I think anything over "5" in EVE is actually "Excellent" standing.

The problem is your quarters correspond to the racial type of the space station you're sitting in. ie: I can dock in a station and see mercs on the guest list, so it wouldn't make sense for your quarters to change from Minmatar to Caldari if you're still sitting in a Minmatar constructed station. At some point we'll be able to move around the Eve universe, so if you want a different type of quarters then you'll just move to a station that was built by that faction.
What could make sense though is a visual upgrade to your quarters in stations belonging to that faction. Things like medals and banners hanging around that were awarded to recognize your heroism etc. They'd need to hack in some kind of temporary mechanism for moving you to a station belonging to another faction if they do this before we get the ability to move freely around.
On a related note, I think the starmap should have some kind of functionality for zooming in further on a planet and seeing the stations nearby. Many Dust players have no idea that they're actually sitting in one, despite the fact that the station name is displayed on their screen when they're in the MQ. Being able to actually see the thing would help to create some sense of consistency and build up the feeling of integration with New Eden. |

At some point we'll be able to move around the Eve universe, so if you want a different type of quarters then you'll just move to a station that was built by that faction.
What could make sense though is a visual upgrade to your quarters in stations belonging to that faction. Things like medals and banners hanging around that were awarded to recognize your heroism etc. They'd need to hack in some kind of temporary mechanism for moving you to a station belonging to another faction if they do this before we get the ability to move freely around.
On a related note, I think the starmap should have some kind of functionality for zooming in further on a planet and seeing the stations nearby. Many Dust players have no idea that they're actually sitting in one, despite the fact that the station name is displayed on their screen when they're in the MQ. Being able to actually see the thing would help to create some sense of consistency and build up the feeling of integration with New Eden.
Code-wise, I doubt it would be a terribly large issue to 'move" a Dust merc to one of a different faction's stations.
Mind you, I still kind of like the idea of an option for pre-uprising mercs to change their racial background (perhaps for an AUR fee), since race didn't really matter before then.
Citizenship in that frame could have different benefits, like awards, cosmetic differences in your quarters, etc. I think sometimes they don't spend much time showing the "space" elements in Dust because it highlights the fact that you have little ability to interact with any of those elements (similar to the relatively minor impact any features of the planets we fight on has on the actual field of battle). Many mercs probably already feel the scope or use of their quarters is somewhat limited, but they may be unaware that there really isn't more to "quarters" in EVE either.

Changing citizenship as reward for lv10 is a brilliant idea! +1
I don't really need that option (enjoy playing 3 different races for my 3 clones) but I can see many people who choose the wrong race being motivated to get their standing up to level 5 to join a different nation.
In later variants of this mechanism we could get officers quarters if we gain level 10. These would be a little bigger, and have some bonus decoration in them.
It would also be nice to be able to choose the station to move to (needs to be a official station of that race though).
Finally we should have FW officers suit colour shemes (for example the rusty camo look of the sever suit for minmatar).
These could be similar to the faction look of ships in eve... |

So when I start flooding the player market with LP gear at no cost.....how much would that undermine the value of.......EVERYTHING!
Why even buy ISK gear at that point?

I'd work my butt off at it if I could swap to Amarr. Something about their design philosophy just really resonates with me and I wish I had a chance to explore that a little further when I made my character. Instead I was just like "O, these guys are democratic, they must be the space heroes. So... I'll pick whatever this 'G' word name is." Can't say I still feel the same way about them.

There was a post by Nova Knife... or one of the CPM about support for an AUR-funded swap of existing BPOs for an alternate race. It's not quite the same thing as citizenship, but it's somewhat related as I think some people see a citizenship change as a means of changing their starter fits (BPO options). Whether or not a citizenship change would also be AUR funded (or AUR + LP).. hmm. I guess CCP might feel more motivated if there's profit in it?
I think racial quarters specifically shouldn't be a faction/citizenship thing, but rather we'd ideally be able to choose where we want to live as you sort of can in EVE. Also, we don't have negative standings in Dust that I've noticed, so that's another element that's unexplored I guess.

But then you limit those who can ever accomplish this to those who have been grandfathered in with BPOs. It's really not a solution.

How about the ability to capture planets in EVE dependent on your "Citizen Status". Your loyalties start on the front line and are rewarded in higher sec space. Could use the POS mechanics from EVE (Nothing in a system .7 security status or higher). It would be necessary to introduce an item into the market for LP that would allow the corp/alliance to "Claim" said district for as long as the corp/alliance on a whole stayed loyal.
I really like the idea of working towards a higher goal.
Give DUST514 some direction.

This would be a MUCH more advanced and timely option to integrate. In the long run I'd LOVE something like this, but for now adding the citizenship option could be done with a few variable value changes in the code. If they WANTED to implement this they could probably have it done by the end of the week. We still would love this, CCP. Give us a reason to fight :)

Haha, same here. If I could repick my race right now I'd go Amarr without a second thought. Those quarters are just so... gorgeous. The floor so shiny. The color scheme so luxurious. But I was a brash young merc who didn't know better when I picked what would wind up being my least favorite race.
A close friend of mine is also Gallente with a Caldari quarters. When I'm over his place I get to at least see how the fortunate live in that spacious room. But it's still not even close to the Amarr, for me.

Ok! I just had a better idea and altered the OP to reflect it. Weigh in on what you think!
Alright after finally getting to FW level 5 and seeing the daunting 45 wins ahead of me just to hit 6 maybe it should be level 8 grants citizenship, with the two levels ahead of it giving different vanity bonuses.
Just spit-balling an example of what would be offered:
Level 5: You can choose use the racial assault or logi your Merc picture (as opposed to the racial medium)
Level 6: Racial Scout as Merc Picture
Level 7: Racial Sentinel or Commando as Merc Picture
Level 8: Citizenship! You can now swap to this race and if you were not previously the race all the lower unlocks are now available to you, plus a change of merc quarters and station location, and starter fits.
Level 9: All racial prototype suit pictures are unlocked to choose from.
Level 10: The background imagine behind your merc becomes the icon of your race. Ultimate bragging rights.
This rewards people who fight for the race they started as slightly ahead of everyone else who needs to work harder to earn those rewards, but keeps everyone on the same page eventually.

I fight Caldari, myself . Trust me, getting to 5 has been difficult to say the least! I'd love the day I can swap out from this race if at all possible. Something about the Gallente just rubs me the wrong way.
