BE Affinity System for LW2

How could CivBE's Affinity system be tied into LW2?

There is a new game that might pique your interest. It essentially has Factions which grant unique bonuses and technologies which you will be able to combine apparently.

For pure affinities, I think some LW2 classes can be tied into them. Officers for Purity, Psis for Harmony and SPARKS for supremacy. Increasing affinity points would increase the performance of each classes while also unlocking affinity-specific equipment.

Hybrid affinities would be more asymmetric. S-H (Adaptability?): construct special equipment and facility upgrades from special materials acquired by looting and rending corpses. P-S (Coordination?): Get bonuses from Radio Towers, ability to call in airstrikes and recon while in combat. P-H (Unity?): More benefits from spending intel, improved Resistance and Haven ability, cheaper black market prices. etc...

Still no idea on how affinity points could be gained. Research? POIs? Bonus objectives?

Already looking forward to it. I hope they make it easily moddable.

One way of gaining affinity point: abilities. Each affinity class would have an active ability Place Banner/Scryer Pulse/Activate Decrypter for Officer/Psi/SPARK. Each ability can be only done once per mission and gives affinity points as rewards. Requires both actions and also summons reinforcements when used.
