Problem: FP MC reward structure heavily favors units stacking one side in order to take planet tags. This creates a bad experience for all involved, and drives players out of FP.

Idea: Reward MC per match based on position of tug-of-war bar, with the winning side earning less.

Description: When tug-of-war bar is in the middle (50%), both sides get 1% of LP/RP earned as MC. (MATH below) As the bar moves, the winning side earns less MC linearly. At 75%, the losing side still earns 1% and the winning side earns 0.5%. When the bar hits 100%, the winning side earns 0% in MC.

I am not fixiated on 1%, it's just a nice round number. A typical FP match earns 500-1000 RP/LP, 1% of this equals 5-10MC per match. It would take hundreds of matches to earn a free hero mech, but it is consistent earning that doesn't require being one of the top 4 units on the winning stacked side. (If this is giving away too much MC, toss out the loyalty rank MC, which encourages grinding, stacking, and seal clubbing)

Result: Strong disincentive for the skilled players and units to stack one side, more balanced and competitive FP. Rewards players more for participating, with an overall better experience.
