1) Entire planets, in some cases, or individual bases/ settlements can be factionally aligned. this can be flipped by pp players during a base assault. If all the settlements on a planet are flipped by one faction, that faction owns the planet and gains various(undetermined) bonuses.
2) planets can have multiple bases/settlments, but alignment can vary. If a planet has both a fed and an empire settlement, these settlements can attack each other, via npc's, so there's a state of perpetual war. Include missions that take this into account. pp players would, of course support their faction. base assaults for flipping. dogfights above the planet surface. Ability to strafe and destroy enemy ships parked on the surface, but not at a base/station, if you understand what I mean. that's the bare bones of the idea.
