DUST Search - Allegiance feature.

I'd like to propose adding allegiance as a feature.

Basic idea:

Choose your racial allegiance to represent in all all game types, including pubs.

How it would work:

When you create a new character and choosing your race, you are also choosing 'allegiance' for that race.

When playing pubs (or any game type) 1% of your WP will be converted to LP of your race, as you are representing your faction.

The longer you stay with your faction, the larger your LP bonus per match (up to 5% max)

Changing allegiance:

Many of us are stuck with a race we don't like, or merc quarters for that matter.

To switch allegiance, you would pay 10K LP of faction you want to switch to + 1,000,000 ISK. (or Aurum)

When you switch allegiance, your forum picture, merc quarters, and LP bonus will be switched.

Not patriotic to any one race? No problem.

Choose 'Pirate Allegiance' and get fat juicy ISK instead of LP every battle.

Pirate allegiance stays at 3% ISK however and never builds up.

What will this do?

- Add depth for role players
- Add the dynamic of representing/fighting for your faction at all times, even in pubs.
- Allow people to switch quarters, forums pics they hate
- Earn $money$ for CCP

In EVE, after you finish your starter quests, you really don't have any alliegence to anyone. Yes you have a good standing with your starter race, but that can't stop you from joining FW for the opposing nation. Mind you I do understand that EVE is a different monster than Dust. My counter proposal (and to add more story) is that once a player is out of instand battle academy, they can receive an automatic message from each of the 4 Empires that says something like: We have watched your progress and wish to have you fight for our cause. Of course each letter would be written differently to reflect the different races. This is actually possible as they used to do this before Uprising when you first joined. In place of a reply button, there should be an Enlist button. Hitting it will put your Alligence with that Nation and yiu receive a letter of welcome from them. If you want to join a pirate faction, you can receive a letter from an "Anonymous Clone" or something. With changing Alligences, you should recieve a letter of disappointment and lose any standing from the faction you leave. Give me my Plasma Flamethrower or give me a cookie!
