World Events would be much more appealing to draw the fights in.
Something like "Researchers at (Facility X) has found a breakthrough in Gauss technology."
By seizing the data from the Facility, Your Faction begins a Research timer (essentially a Mass persistant crafting timer) of several hours should you manage to hold onto it without it getting stolen from you. Should you manage to finish the research, You gain access to alternative weapon versions utilizing the technology. Perhaps other factions could have the option of trying to steal or sabotage the research or corrupt the data so you're set back a bit.
Thats something to fight for and would be a worth while event that would encourage you to see it through to the end. A poor example, but i'm sure devs could think of something.
