Right now many players (me included) play CW mainly to gain easy c-bills (1.2 million c-bills a game on average) when the queues are busy. But this also means that we don't care one iota about the actual state of the planet and whether it's going to fall to whatever faction.

I'm proposing a relatively simple addition of a c-bill reward (maybe just 200-500k is enough) whenever a planet flips in your faction's favour. And you get this reward if you participate in at least one win on that planet.

There's room for more adjustment such as the amount depending on if it's your faction's planet or an overall IS defense planet. Or if you are a loyalty unit or merc unit.

Just a small thought.

I'd love something like this for relevance, but seeing how Phase 3 is around the corner.. I'd like to think there is consideration for rewards of this type in the works (supposedly it is, but it's not finalized to my knowledge).

I guess this is just for if they didn't have anything like this planned. Would hate for Phase 3 to be all interesting only for there to still be the exact same amount of apathy for the faction metagame.

I agree, but I think it was reiterated by many about rewards for getting planets (MC for loyalists, supposedly), but we're still trying to figure out what the #s happen to be.

Phase 3 has the factions doling out the c bills...

Not sure what the point is, beyond drawing even more inexperienced pilots in free mechs to the "end game content." I thought the idea was to get them into the solo queue to grind cbills like the rest of us did.
