Mercs can easily earn 10 Mechbays in 10 weeks by getting to L2 in each faction.

Loyalists have to struggle to get 4-5 mechbays, and while they eventually get large CBill and MC Rewards, those are very hard to earn and a very long way away.

Meanwhile, Mercs can easily follow the money in factions if the faction payouts change, or move easily for an event where the rewards favor one side over another.

Loyalists are stuck or heavily penalized if they decide to move for an event.

Loyalists need better rewards. 50% LP earnings is nice, but it takes a significant effort to get to and past L10 in a faction anyway, and while 50% does cut that down, it's all rewards down the road that loyalists can simply earn faster, but there's nothing exclusive to loyaltys.

Suggestion:
Add extra rewards for loyalist units in the faction menu. Like extra faction cockpit items, paint, and at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20, maybe a faction specific mech.

Possible flaws: For players rich in CBills, they can simply bounce around as a loyalist to different factions instead to farm factions.

Solution: Only every allow loyalty factions to be awarded once per award level. Perhaps let it reset every time they reset the map.
