I think Loyalty point should simply be assigned to the faction, not the corporation. As it is, you cannot work for a zillion corps, o you will have LP scattered over many corps. If LP are assigned to the Faction, then you could work for any available corp, and build LP toward faction mods, POS charters, ammo, etc. It would be much more flexible.
LP needs to be pooled in some way - I agree wholeheartedly!!!
what this gentleman said. /agree
I strongly disagree with faction pooling of LP. Pooling LP to factions would mean that the LP store items of less popular corps lose value and people will gather even more to the best grind area within a faction. Why wouldn't they, since they can get LP much faster from combat agents and only a few corps have them in good quality, location and numbers. These agents are currently grinded much more than others and as a consequense the rewards their store offers lose value. They don't need any boost in profits, especially at the expense of people who have spread around and are working for the less used corporations with few to no good combat agents.
As for the increased flexibility, you can get all of the same stuff now. You just can't get it all from the same LP store by grinding the best agents of the faction. You can still buy the items by your LP by converting it to isk first, but have to pay a little premium for the harder to get items. It might require minimal effort on your part, but the current system is much better than your faction LP pool abomination.
I would support the ability to sell your LP points to another character though or giving additional uses for your spare LP than the current LP store items. The trading of LP isn't really necessary though, since trading the items through the market and contracts works just fine, but buying up those few useless LP points people gather, pooling them to buy things from the LP store and selling them for profit might be a nice new side profession.
