It'd be great if a wing could become another 'faction' in a system that we could then influence in the same way as we do other factions in the game.
For example a wing called 'spacers guild' could choose a system to influence(any). Wing members would then work to make spacers guild the dominant faction. OFC more popular systems would be more difficult, but you'd have more prestige in seeing your name in lights on say the system info board
Another idea for wings would be the ability to build and name a space station in a system by donating materials (by hauling them there) to build it. In this way we kind of having a crafting system and the populated universe could then expand. The further out it's built, the more difficult but then, once it's there it's there for good.
Personally I wouldn't have any sort of financial gain from doing the above, but having your wing's name as say the ruling faction in Sol would be pretty cool. Rival wings would then ofc try to usurp you which could lead to some fun PvP fights.
TLDR, by having your wing as a 'faction' and/or able to build your own space station you give wings something else to do than just fly about.
