A lot of people think LP skins aren't worth the price, but others like me enjoy the fact that these are hard to obtain and can't be bought with aurum. So how any we make them more appealing, such as:
If Favorite Suit = Loyalty SKIN, LP Payout * 1.25
Basically a permanent faction booster. Then by stacking three paid boosters you can get up to 100% extra LP. Also would make sense that factions would pay a bonus to someone displaying loyalty. You'd see more appropriate faction suits in faction warfare as well which is neat. People would still buy faction boosters. And by favorite suit I mean the one that shows up at the EOM screen for most used.
Downsides: May break up friends who don't use same faction suits, but they have pubs and PC to play together in. Would make other skins feel useless, but they can use other SKINs again in other game modes.

25% may be too high, as the suits aren't that hard to get. To get all 3? Yes, that takes quite a grind, but it's doable. What about a % increase per faction SKIN purchased? Have all 3? Permanent 25% LP increase. So, roughly an 8% increase per LP SKIN purchased? |

If you were to gift three faction SKINs to a player would this bonus apply to them at that time or is the bonus soul bound to your account?

They are appealing. I want one just because the poors will have a hard time getting one.
Here's the solution.
Have a cheaper crappier version of SKINS, both LP and AUR. Then the poors can have their SKINs too, and I get to still have my super elite hard to obtain CFW skin I'm currently grinding for.

Except you then turn Marine skins from a trophy / symbol of pride to a "necessity" or function.
And honestly they are not that hard to get since LP has been boosted so much since its inception. 60 wins will get you the isk you need under the current system.

Good points, I don't think this is necessary. Just tossing around ideas as they hatch in my brain.

Idea certainly has merit for sure.
My only issue with them is I dont find most of them that appealing, personally.

I want to see this easy process in action.
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Gal and Minmatar may be easier but damn its hard trying to find a match.
Amarr/Caldari = less wins Gallente/Minmatar = more wait time.
I want the old FW system back where I could choose what battles to fight.

Several of us in our group are working on getting their last skin, and they already have their LP apex suit.
Caldari has no problem getting matches during prime time, and with a squad or two you gets you wins. I'm nothing special (I'm even rusty from being gone half a year) so I play like 3 matches on an average day, which gets me 2 or 3 wins, log of, repeat the next day. That is about 3-4k LP per day. Currently at 80, was 75 yesterday.

Unfortunately, I can't help you if everyone is looking for zero challenges and or chasing the better suits. I do sympathize because you are a good player yourself, but have to share with the masses, while Cals just need to qsync, (also our qsyncs rarely if ever get broken apart even with 16 of us).

Grants incentive to grind, so as to sell at a crazy high price. Especially so once Power Cores are a thing, and APEXs become a joke for how pricey they were. |

Id say 5% each for owning them to have to be in them during battle is a pain youd have to be alive and have to be wearing tat specific suit. For jacks of all trades like me its a pain

I like, but I still think the republic marine medium frame SKIN looks too similar to my skinweave logi.

Sync from PIE Ground Control.
I only logged in for the last 6 or 7 matches yesterday evening and all of these were victories. Some were pretty close and very enjoyable matches.

LOL, yeah give them some sweatshop knock-offs. LOOOOL.
I have: Marine Issue GA-M SKIN Marine Issue MN-M SKIN Marine Issue MN-L SKIN
I was kinda peeved when I saw the price tags, but I had expected it. I deliberated a long time before purchasing one (the Gal) but after seeing it in the flesh (all pics do no justice to the SKINs, I dunno why) I couldn't resist getting 2 more for Min.
AS to the OP's suggestion, I am very much in support, but feel 25% is a bit much for a one-suit purchase. The suggestion of having to own all 3 for the full 25% I am unsure of, since you may not have use for all 3 suits, but I guess 300K LP + 30mil ISK isn't bad for a permament FW booster, especially if you play a lot of FW.

The FW SKINS were poorly thought out and rushed. The SKIN should have been linked to your rank, make 5 SKINS that are available for every two ranks; so first SKIN you can wear unlocks at rank 2, then 4, 6, 8 and finally 10. Make prerequisites for the SKINS so if you do not have the rank you cannot wear the SKIN. And lower the damn price. Make them 20K LP so all in all you will end up paying the same but at least you have a new shiny every two ranks you gain and for the price you pay now you will get 5 different SKINS. Or you can wait until you reach the rank you like the colours off best.
SKINS are not worth the same as APEX suits so they should not cost the same. If they are tied to your rank you can call them hard earned and those who do not fight for the faction cannot wear them.

Sounds like a good idea, but as others have said 25% is a bit generous. 10% seems about right
Would be good if they could be added to the set bonuses Rattati was talking about the other day. An extra 5% less heat buildup would definitely get me running more FW
