I have an idea you could put this in the game on the next server update or something.

Allow the federations to obtain money from their members. We could set up a donator page to show how much each fed member has donated. This money could be used incase any member is in debt, you could lend them money to get out of debt. Federations could have their own fleets of ships, used to combat another federation`s ships, so that someone could officially win a war. A fed would only be able to do this after they have been at war for 2 days or something, that way it is not a hit and run type of thing. The type of ships availible to build could simply be neutral, the ships of the majority race, or the ships of all the races of members in your fed; which would be another reason to expand and get more members in your fed. This would be another thing to use the money on. I don`t know how you could figure the upkeep in there, unless you went by real time, such as it would cost 500,000 every 24 hours or something such as that. In this case, anyone could disband the ships so your federation doesn`t go into debt. You would have a notice pop up saying who disbanded your fleet, so if they weren`t supposed to, you could take their right to do that away. this would be another reason to be careful when approving new applicants, especially during war time. You could also allow the federation member to give other members more priveleges (rankings), such as kicking members, or approving applicants, possibly even edit the Detail board and website. It would notify the leader when someone changed something. You cant kick the leader.

This could be used to help increase the importance of a strong federation.
Another of the reasons why I want this is because I have several friends that play another online game called the dead awaken, which has something similar to a federation, which you can do most of these things. this is the only thing keeping them from playing this game.

I just thought of another idea. With the people that donate, they could get rewards, such as custom titles. This could be an incentive to give to the federation.

the fed bank could easily be solved

when a player is in dept , that player can get money from the "fed bank" but only equal to the ammount of dept that you are in,
also u could only withdraw some if u have been in the fed X ammount of days and so on

as confederac said :)

Well, maybe you can have a personal bank account with the federation, so you can only get back what you have given. Or just forget the personal bank account idea, and just stick with the fact that you can only get back what you have given, such as you donate a total of 20 million to the federation over time, then if you happen to go into debt, with permission of the fed leader, you can get up to 20 million back.

so then players diliberatly go into debt, so that other members send them money, so that they can build more and the cycle starts again

As for the banking, as to make sure there will be no problems with muli-ing, as well as the stated problem with races that are meant to be poor, I have a solution. Money can only be lent to members that are in debt. And it will only allow you to give them enough to bring them 10,000 or so above zero. And I also thought of the problem that Guardians, and other poor races wouldn`t be able to contribute as much money. their races could contribute food, or Minerals as well.

With the federation fleet, the main reason why I wanted that is so there can eventually be a definite answer to who won the war. Maybe the fleet can be assembled using all of your individual members` fleets combined into one, after about a week, or two weeks of the war going on.

i like the ranking idea, and allowing privilegies of federation features to be accessable to people of given ranks. but there is controversy over the "fed bank" and also i can see how a fed fleet if not regulated could end up being unfair in a way
but abut the fed banking, some races are meant to be poor (such as guardian) but have really good ships and stuff, just not a big enough economy to support it to the point where guardians would be invincble and soaring to massive power ratings. alowing a race that is limited and made fair by its bad economy, to have lots of money, just over powers that race, making it not-fair
as far as the fed fleet, i dont think it is really necesary, and also if implemented it should be only used for fed wars, that way it will make feds act as one big empire, attacking another, but that kind of takes out of indvidual skill, and only really requires one person in the fed to organize the fed, and require the richer races to purchase XX number of ship YY etc. When fed wars should be when the fed must prove their worth not only as a team, but as indivduals working together. if your friends are skipping out on this game becuase feds dont really opporate as a team. you are wrong, you can wolfpack, in which members of the same fed, hover around a close power range, and post up on any enemies rising out of dp, and you can communicate enemies current stacks after an attack fails, and have others backing you up, making sure the enemy doesnt counter you.
but as far as feds go in general i do agree feds should have more features to encourage their use, but the question is what, and how
