Improvement: Warpgate Recruitment Facility

How about a Recruitment Facility at the Warpgate.Outfits could have a Kiosk with their logo and maybe some status meters showing prestige ratings or current action involvement.Specialized Units could have different Icons,for example Armor Units would have a Tank Icon.These could also be metered for multi- function outfits to show the sizes of each specialization,or the availability/need for each branch.The Outfit Kiosk would have links,propaganda,whatever you want. Outfits could easily afford a little monthly fee.Station Cash and Certs could be brought in to play without it being pay to win.
It would be awesome for new players and easier than running around messaging people in game for recruitment.Easier and quicker than PS2 forums.Which reminds me.I just started a Fast Attack/Reactionary Level 3 Racer Chassis Lightning Platoon.We use Tactics,until they pizz us off.NC Lifers ONLY! (NC) CRAZYHORSE STRIKEFORCE (XCSX) We kill because we care.

The Outfit Recruitment Terminal could use a menu system to help guide players.Battle Rank requirements,Command Structure preferences,Voice Com or not and so on.There could be an Outfit Trial Function so a player can try out an Outfit.The Outfit Tag would be a different color so the Outfit can evaluate the recruit.Outfits could have a Rep at the kiosk,maybe give some XP for recruiters.The possibilities are endless.

Not a bad premise. I think it would work better if an outfit could claim a base and that base would then display an additional holo-banner for that outfit, and also be denoted as such on the map. That way your success in war becomes the advertisement for your outfit. Anyone who opens the map sees who's been doing the most damage.
