At the end of each FP match there's always these two lines :
- Faction Win 0 CB bonus
- Faction Win 0 LP bonus

And even if you win the FP game, have Premium time activated and are a loyalist fighting for his own faction, those two values seem to stay at 0.

So my question is : When are they not worth 0 ?

In all seriousness it's because you have to pledge loyalty to a fraction and when you do you still have the "probation period" since PGI didn't want people to flip-flop from faction to faction.
The irony is that literally everyone stopped caring about what faction they were on years ago, and since this archaic system is still in the game, so did PGI.

I'm loyalist, have been for weeks : Even when my faction is directly involved and I'm using premium time on a win, it's still 0.

What you mean is that it's a broken leftover that ranges back to that time ?

I haven't watched that tab for some time, but I believe the bonuses were removed quite some time ago, when all merc contracts were made to give no bonus.

That's maybe like a year ago, if not more. Prior, factions with more populationg gave bonuses to merc contracts and factions with most population gave a reduction. They were all reset to give no bonus or penalty. I would imagine it refers to that.

I haven't looked at the details of why but CB earnings in FP have been about 30-40% lower since the May patch.

Hoping PGI fixes this with the next patch that addresses loyalty, et al.
