There are two types of FW players: those who are loyal to their chosen factions, and those who would fight for any side without any loyalty. I believe the latter group can be used to quantitatively balance FW sides, and make battles start faster.
Right now players move away from losing factions because they want to actually win, and they want the rewards that come from winning. This is a problem because it leads to losing factions being underpopulated, and this makes battles take forever to start.
A possible solution is to make losing factions give an LP bonus (you can see which factions are winning and losing on the star map). This bonus would incentivize the non-loyal players to play for the losing factions instead of against them, and thus get battles starting faster.
How much this bonus should be is debatable, but it is important that loyal players are still rewarded in the long term, so that means the losing faction bonus should never be as good as a high standing LP bonus. Short term good rewards for the faction-hoppers, and long term even greater rewards for the loyal players.
Some might appose this on principle because it rewards the failure factions, but I see it as a matter of pragmatic necessity -- I shouldn't have to wait 10+ minutes to find a battle in an FPS; its embarrassing for the game.

I'd count that as within the "loyal" group, despite the motive being different. If they fight for apposing factions to get LP goods from both sides, then I count them as the other group, and my proposal could still incentivize them to fight for the losing side.

Kinda what I got from that >.>
I have suits in 3 races, and all proto. A proto suit for every role, and 2 proto suits for assaults.
I have no interest in fighting for Caldari, and I would never fight for Amarr on principle. I don't even use the LP store for anything but complex myofibril stimulants, and that's just until I get the skill to 5, but other than that, I don't care at all about my LP. I already have all the suits and weapons, equipment, and every single modules (besides the myos) that I actually want to prototype, and beyond.
My supreme perfect form is almost complete. I am almost beyond LP.
NOTHING in my proposal would actually help losing factions actually win, the purpose of the proposal is to get battles starting faster.

I'm open to any other ideas that might reduce FW wait times

I still think this is worth a try.
