We've talked at length about the "repetitiveness" of the current bounties.
In thinking about this (and matrial farming) I had an idea: What if Factions gave out bounties? Different Factions could focus on different kinds of bounties based on their motives and bounties could scale in difficulty/reward as you rank up in the faction.
Another way to encourage people to do Faction bounties who be to have planet materials as rewards (based on the planet where it is completed). Maybe completing a rank 2 bounty nets you 10 spinmetal but a rank 5 gets you 30. I would suggest a material limit per day (or week) but the limit would be material specific (300 of each material a week or something) and of course you can still go out and find them naturally.
Anyways, some ideas I came up with while Patrolling on Venus late last night! What do you think?

I like it, and I'll reiterate on something I said early on. I wish the missions you got from people in the Tower during patrol had some follow-up when you returned to the Tower. The implication is that you are forming relationships, but there is almost zero development in terms of your interaction with NPCs.
I also find Spec ops Grunt's idea about PvP patrol very intriguing. There have obviously been squabbles between factions in the past, but wouldn't be interesting if they flared back up, and wouldn't this be another way to get more story in the game?
This game has so much potential. I really hope some of the restrictions and bedrock design decisions aren't actually in stone and they can expand the game in dynamic and new directions.

I've often thought they should have Faction bounties that give you bonus rep for the faction, but are based on the Crucible events the Factions support. Would make perfect sense both for gameplay and fiction.
