What if we had Faction-based Events? That way, you could earn Faction Rewards for playing the Event and the Events could be a little more "tied-in" to the Battletech Universe. They could be located on specific worlds featuring specific conflicts, allowing players to participate in Faction Play on a smaller scale.

There could be Inner Sphere vs. Inner Sphere fights, Clan vs. Clan fights, mercenary missions, and of course the usual Clan vs. Inner Sphere battles. There could be multi-part Events that represent a planetary invasion, an objective raid, and so on.

Feel free to add your ideas.

I like the way you think. I've been say something similar to this like having a rivalry month event for two factions. You could have rewards based on three "missions" depending on want you want to do. So here are the 3 "Missions" you can do for the event. I would keep the rewards same for each mission though so the player can either choose to do one or as many as they want.

Missions Events
Example - Davion vs Liao
1. Skirmish - This is in case if players want to faction vs faction do this through Event Queue.
Objective - Kill players in Event Queue that are a rival to your faction. The more kills the higher the reward.
Davion Example: 5 Kills - Davion Decal, 10 Kills - A Free Faction Color Unlock for your mech based on your faction: Davion Marauder, Victor, Wolfhound, etc.) 15 Kills - "Battlefield Salvage" Reward - You get to choose what "enemy" mech you want based on your rival faction: Raven, Cataphract, Vindicator, etc., 20 Kills - 500 MC.

2. Headhunter - This is for players who don't want to participate in FP or the Event Queue or RP lowkey. It's also for players who want to participate casually.
Objective - Kill players in Quick Play that are a rival to your faction in any game mode. The more kills the higher the reward.
Liao Example: 5 Kills - Liao Decal, 10 Kills - A Free Faction Color Unlock for your mech based on your faction: Liao Marauder, Victor, Wolfhound, etc.) 15 Kills - "Battlefield Salvage" Reward - You get to choose what "enemy" mech you want based on your rival faction: Enforcer, Jagermech, Victor, etc., 20 Kills - 500 MC.

3. Planetary Assault - This is in case if players want to faction vs faction do this through Faction Play.
Objective - Kill players in Event Queue that are a rival to your faction. The more kills the higher the reward.
Davion Example: 10 Kills - Davion Decal, 20 Kills - 2 Free Faction Colors Unlock for your mechs based on your faction: Davion Marauder, Victor, Wolfhound, etc.) 30 Kills - "Battlefield Salvage" Reward - You get to choose what "enemy" mech you want based on your rival faction: Raven, Cataphract, Vindicator, etc., 20 Kills - 1500 MC.

Of course, the numbers would have to be tweaked, but I would have 3 Missions for the play so they can decide if they want to do one, two of them or all of them.

Are you talking about the Faction Play? Your words "on specific worlds" seem to suggest so.
