Seth your a genius (Don't go getting a Eppyhead)
Role play wise, it would make reasonable sense. Take for instance the Outcasts, ships come to alpha daily to buy Cardamine to haul off where ever. They purchase it , thus the funds coming from admin to factions could represent the profits of the products being sold. & as you state, could be put to use to equip new players, pay bounties for factions etc. Only downside I see is how it affects independents, as they would not likely receive much benefit from this. Unless said allowance given to factions would free up some players from trading to run escorts? Anyway, I likes the idea & hope it is considered.
