This was an idea from burseg sardaukar in the feedback/request section but i wanted to bring it here and get some opinions on it from the player base.
Since FW battles are so scarce and getting a squad in can sometimes prove tricky due to everyone racing to join, he came up with the loyalty for factions that would earn you the right to have a preference to queue into the battle.
BursegSardaukar wrote:While a lot of players are commenting on adding things like faction mods that drop from FW battles and Loyalty points for stores and such, I think they would go a long way to adding flair to FW matches and agree.
However, in the short term, there are very few FW battles open at any given time, and getting a full squad into them is a mad dash!
I propose adding standings to the militias that increase with success in FW battles. These standings could be separate from those received by a corporation on the EVE end, but I think it would help promote synergy between the games if they related to one another. The EVE guys would care what their boys are doing on the surface and the guys on the surface would benefit from having easier access to the FW matches.
Thoughts?
Something like loyalty points, maybe?
Idk exactly how it would work but maybe something like this:
All corps start at 0 preference points, if you play for the amaar your corp gets X points for a win and X points for a loss... The next battle your corp plays for caldari in FW, your corp will still get X points for a win and X points for a loss but your corp will also get
-X points to the amaar loyalty since you played for another race.
You can't go negative in race loyalty, just stay at 0, this would make having a FW loyalty mean allot more.
Once you get X loyalty points for a race you get corp preference to join their FW battles... Not that it will boot others so you can join but maybe like a 5 min pre enrollment into the battle?
Random ideas but I think the idea behind this is very good and could make the game a bit more interesting.

Agreed, but don't you think even with the implementation of more FW battles this would still be a good system?
I understand we're mercs and we work for the highest bidder and blah blah but it would be nice to have some sort of perk or bonus for loyalty to a specific faction.. |

Nah, guys, listen 1 or 2 battles queuing at a time is fine for 6000 players. CCP knows what they're doing. |

Well, it works with lore- factions are likely to re-hire the most dependable mercs first. |

Exactly... And if you can show your dependability to them through loyalty, you should have some sort of advantage IMO but as of now, (minus the "storyline")FW battles are currently just glorified pub matches with no meaning.
It needs something to give it more interest.

That's not how FW match generation works though. You don't just have more matches, its based around EVE side complexing
EDIT- Also big issue with preference points is that single solo player may still sneak into winning matches even if they do absolutely nothing to help the team and then be in positions to jump into more and more FW matches where they still don't help anyone. |

That's fine, people should still be allowed to join FW matches, I'm not saying stop that from happening I just think it would be nice to have a preference system, the games would be allot more fun if you had an upper hand of sorts because of preference and being able to get a whole side of FW with just your corp.
Keeping the onesies out would be impossible but making them rare is easy with a system like this because it would have a lot more interest. |

There needs to be some way for there to be more battles in order for the preference to work: otherwise, the system would just mean the same corps always have first dibs, since nobody else can get into a battle to earn points. |

Yeah, this is all based on there being more FW battles. |
