I am a Davion player and big on Davion lore, all such information presented uses that knowledge base.
In game:
-Reduction in cost of C-Bills for faction mechs.
Possible a reduction in cost for modifying said faction mechs.
-Allow faction "quirks."
Create quirks that represent the cultures of each factions. Using the actual in game material as well as the real world cultural material. All of my examples are off the cuff and drawing from the lore as I know it.
And NO, no one should ever have the Ghost Mech ability...though would be interesting to see how people would handle going up against Morgan Kell...
(All of these are off the cuff)
Ex: Kuritia Units
O5P Training
Mech remains active for 5 secs after overheat to reflect the training imparted to the military by the Order of the Five Pillars.
Divine Wind
10% increase to speed when under 40% on damage scale.
Davion
RCT Training
5% damage recieved when two or more Davion units target AND HIT the same enemy unit.
The Fox's Way
Davion units vanish from the map as soon as LOS is broken. Though any unit that has a lock will keep such locks.
Cross Faction Diplomacy
This would play along the more traditional CW lines of relationships. Which can be altered over time.
If a Davion planet is defended by Stainer units grant those units/mechwarriors a temporary reduction in Davion mechs.
If Davion units help to defend a Stainer world then a C-Bill bonus would be added to the final successful defense of the world.
In/Out of game fluff.
Units and Mechwarriors that chose to align with a faction permanently should be reward both in and out of game.
Such things could be:
Unit citations
Davion Units
Dragon Slayer Ribbon
Successful defense of a Davion world vs. House Kurita
Letters from Iconic NPCs to the player profile. How and when would be up to PGI, but would give a more organic touch.
Faction only (of sorts) podcast:
News, reports and stories from the war front presented from each Factions POV.
Outside factions would get either censored, or broken rebroadcast of these news stories.
Possible naming units that belong to a faction in such stories.
Faction based web videos:
This is a longer term suggestion as web, gaming, t.v. and film are becoming more and more integrated.
Show the front as short films (under 5 mins.) Or press conferences by Iconic NPCs.
These are just a few suggestions.
