Faction perks have always been a bit of a flop. The classic arguement is "Faction takes x work to be official but we only get y for it" and the benefits never seem to meet the bar in the player's eyes. People tend to forget that making that faction official is a reward in itself and being recognized as an official faction here is a privilege rather than a right. The sense of acheivement of seeing that post in green saying you have met the requirements and are on the tracker is supposed to satisfy you, but it doesn't.
We could have swerved alot of the "but what do we get now?" by making some of the more powerful tech ingame to be only available to factions that went official (queue cloaks, jumps etc), but retroactively applying such a measure now would be folly on a catastrophic scale.
How do we fix it? The fact is, there is no perk that administration can give you that will reflect the time and collective energies put into making a faction official. You are doing it because you want to - and if you are still looking for the lolly basket I'm sorry to say there isn't one, and there never was.
