Heheh Grunt i was about to launch into my thoughts about the flag game but you sir have captured a key element 
So as I've played a lot of SS in chaos i have a pretty good feel for how this game is.
I would call the current game CHAOS Flagging. As its style is in this zone.
What i would do for the flag game is make the points to 10% instead of 100% this would allow you to see your points effect your overall total instead of eclipsing it.
I like the SS shield. I always have when i first starting playing this zone again i was having the most kills but not getting the shield. Then i realized that as the jackpot is always going to give you the total number of kill points from the zone instead of just yours. It will give you the most points.
If you dropped it to 10% it would give you a boost but the guy who was killing even more guys would be able to stay in front. I know hallu keeps his flag points separate but if you built the flag points into part of your usually points it would give the zone a better flow.
If you do like keeping them separate you would of course already be able to do that by keeping it the same as it is. So you would have flag points winner and points winner. But you would also be able to have an overall winner.
As far as the green boost. I like the bounties going up. I enjoy the rapid green to full but make no mistake it makes flagging well worth doing both for bounty and for prizes. If you gave the winners a fresh ship and a bounty booster but only gave them prizes at the same level a recycled ship would get. I think that would balance it out.
Ie i win flags with my 1200 points ship. I get to keep my 1200 point ship but instead of getting 1200prizes added back to my ship i get 75 or what ever the starting bounty is.
This way you might even lose stuff when you win flags. So you get points but you might get new stuff if you have used everything up or you might lose stuff if you have maxed out your ship.
To recap. CHAOS FLAGS
1. Drop the Jackpot from 100% of kills to 10%
2. Do the reprize only as much as the current starting bounty.
I think that would make it fit in with the classic style much better.
The reason i wouldn't get rid of it is it seems pretty much ingrained in this zone now.
As a side note when did this style of flag game come into the zone?
