Pledge to a minor faction

I'd really like this too.
Well, this has been brought up before.
The thing is that FD need to merge or code out, however one terms it, the BGS - Factions - Power Play. To expand PP type mechanics and map views down to minor factions and mission system and BGS mechanics more automated up to PP.
I've heard some say "no" to this, but I've no idea why. FD have layered on a meta game in PP that is disconnected from the rest of the game and feels wrong to me for being so.
Players should be able to join a minor faction and help it spread to neighboring systems. At some point when large enough this might be the way factions become defacto Political Powers in the galaxy/ human bubble. The minor factions pledged to Powers should of course feed up into the PP system somehow, granting the more meta expansion points and such. So player attached to a minor faction automatically gets attached to the associated power. When players dock at stations they should see or have option of a variety of mission boards. The current ones are for Factions. We also need ones for non-factions/individuals, and powers.
Every player's actions should contribute to the BGS changes from bottom to top.
It is easy to theory-craft; so I do.
