Since Uprising, the rewards scales depending on how close to a system controlled by the opposing faction you are. System are classified as Frontlines (adjacent to an enemy system), where the LP gains are the highest, Commands systems (adjacent to a frontline) and Rearguards systems (adjacent to a Command system or another rearguard).}}

You can check the current upgrade level of a system (along with the associated benefits) through the system information display at the top-left of the screen. Here you can see who currently controls the system, the [[#Capturing systems|system state]] (stable / contested / vulnerable / lost) and its upgrade level.

Beyond providing benefits for the system itself, upgrading star systems also contributes to the overall [[#Faction tier|tier]] of the war zone, which can bring additional benefits.


The amount of LP in a system's pool is reduced every time a player from the attacking faction captures a complex in that system; 10% of the LP [[#Rewards|reward]] they receive is subtracted from the system's LP pool<ref name="dev blog fast forward" />.

With the removal of the pre-Uprising tier system, upgrading faction warfare systems is rarely done outside of local market or industry centers in the warzones.
