I don't see any reason these shouldn't give some merits for people who participate in them. Multicrew would be pretty easy, though I might make it a requirement to actually shoot at something, so you don't just have blatant alt abuse.
CQC would be a little trickier because it doesn't actually impact any particular system. Still, it would be a really good way to encourage powers to have CQC teams. After all, there's a reason nations have national teams; it's a source of great prestige.
Maybe have CQC merits be evenly split across all systems? It wouldn't be a big effect, but it could be a nice way to counteract the little everyday undermining you'll often see. Maybe with some weekly bonuses for the top players, too, to give us something to fight over. You know, maybe Gold gets ~30000 system points, spread evenly across all friendly systems, silver gets 20000, and bronze gets 10000. That's enough to be worth fighting over but not so much as to really change things on a major level.
And more people doing CQC is always fun!
