I would caution against too much speculation on what these perks might be. I don't need wild speculation bringing player's expectations up so high that we'd have to start handing out Admin shields and Banhammers to meet up with them. I believe Official factions will be pleased with them, but if you are expecting CAU 9's or .beam commands as had been asked for in the thread below, your going to be disappointed. I will also tell you, free credits are not part of the perk. Sorry to disappoint. Go out there and earn your own damn credits.
It still leaves open buffs and mission related supply tasks. As well as destroyable battleship POBs.
Beams, extra equipment should never be in. I'm also a bit cautious about money handouts because in general it seems to reduce trade incentive which reduces encounters.
At least we now know what sort of realm we can have discussion in.
Factions can shape lore I suppose, but developers tend to make the final call so I'm not sure how that works.
