The lone wolf play style is what players currently have in the game today; the NPC factions will be free-to-play; the Merc Corps, on the other hand, will be monetized. "We're looking at possibly charging a one-time setup fee," Ekman said. "This is just to make sure there's not a flood of one-player corps.
"We really want people who participate in this to be as engaged as possible. And we'll probably require them to have a premium time account, as a kind of dedication level." That premium time account can be purchased in quantities ranging from daily to monthly to bi-annually, with the 30-day pack costing $10.

Normally I tend to stay away from these sorts of rage posts, and this is as rage post as you will ever see me get, normally I tell people don't sound the alarm until it needs to be sounded but this idea is just bad from every level.
I won't say it is pay to win but legit merc corps who play this game happily and simply want to jump into the frey their own way instead of flying the banner of a house or a clan over their heads forced to pay money to do so is ridiculous. What you are telling me is that if the Merc Leader loses his/her job the corp is gone the next month? I came to this game because it is Free to Play and Mechwarrior....Mechwarrior being the more important part here. I don't currently have a job and being able to play Mechwarrior the way I want to without having to pay a dime is an amazing thing.
This is upsetting news, that it is even being thought about is an affront to what a Free to Play game is actually but that is just my opinion...what's yours?
