• Bonus for players who met certain prerequisites (faction alignment, wears stormtrooper-armor, player with certain rank...). Thus, they encourage players to meet the prerequisites if they want the 'bonus'.
  
  NOTES: The bonuses can be assigned to existing buildings. Example: Hospital gives HA Bonus, Cantina M Bonus. Bonus could be any kind of stat modification such as regneration rates. Aligned City Hallscould give the stormtrooper-bonus.
  
  
  
• Prerequisites for thepurchase and usage of perks (e.g. walker-facilities for the purchase of walkers, landingsite to call walkers). This could be crucial to give GCW a sense. Lets say, empire can purchase and call(!) AT-AT (yes, the big ones!) only at certain structures, rebels would try to destroy thatstructures on a planet effectively defending their homeworld. The imperials cannot just take the AT-AT in their pocket, they must set up and defend these structures to use (purchase and call!)the walker on that planet.Alongside a sense of the war,it gives the galaxy a sense of place: right now, you take a bunch of friends, fly across the galaxy and strike somewhere (pretty much like out of thin air). In this version you must set up fortresses first, maintain and defend them to have additional firepower. And lets say, you need AT-AT to 'deactivate' certain structures?
  
  NOTES: This based on the idea of different new structures. You can do it with existing assets. Example: a strategic base allows players to callAT-AT walker. They must then march a long way to their destination, vulnerable to ambushes of the rebellion. An aligned shuttleport would not allow to be used by enemies and you could launch your faction craft from there rather than public starports.
  
  
  
• Spawn. Yes, good old monster generators as defensive for the stronghold.
  
  NOTES: To make the city feel aligned to a faction (especially empire), there must be spawn patrolling.I can be added to certain buildings. I would suggest, tospawn stormtrooper as guards at fix positions besides doors of large civic buildings.
  
  
  
• perks to assign to defensive points (it respawns as long as the building is active)
  
  NOTES: In this version, we want to manage it without new buildings. But the idea of perks which could be assigned to certain places would still work. Every HQ in a certain radius gives, based upon the type of HQ, certain perks to assign to buildings in the city. This radius should be much larger than the city radius, so HQs around would backup the spawn in the city itself. Example: Forward HQ gives you an additional recruiter. You can place the officer like trainer within you city as long as the HQs somewhere outside remains active. If your opponent destroys that HQ, the recruiter is gone as well.

What didn't they like about the walls? I mean they themselves used a ton of walls in their cities after all.

They were afraid of players using them to direct trafiic into explotable combat scenarios. Also lets say somebody built a house in your city. You could in theory wall them in unless you made every wall segment have a doorway, and what would be the point of that.

Also I think Factional cities should have a Faction Point bonus to missions grabbed from faction mission terminals within the city the same way that "improved job market" increases pay.
