Just a random thought. Something I'd like to see implemented is some kind of structured PVP, such as battlegrounds from other MMOs. The obvious benefit is to scale everyone's gear to have equal parity in stats, and to make it a viable gearing option away from Incursions.

To this end, how about offering players the choice to abandon the SHD, and join the First Wave agent with Keener? Perhaps turn their orange circles to a red. And have a different base of Operations on the opposite side of the map. Given that both groups use essentially the same gear and tactics, this would be a relatively simple way to implement a second playable faction.

Anyhoo, just an idea.
