Interesting to see a neutral lonewolf option. That is something I did not see coming. It all looks pretty good on paper so far. I am looking forward to seeing this concept put into action. Will love to see a beta test come up soon.

Outreach is 20 LY anti-spinward from Terra Firma (near the center of the Universe) in the Sarna March sector

I know other people wrote where it is. But sometimes I find a picture to be helpful too.

A bit cluttered but Terra is the big star at the top.

Not too crazy about the idea of rank being controlled by the LPs.....

I think controlled isnt the right word, if anything it seems, at least on first reading that you, the player, are in control of your own LPs.
I can say for a fact i won't be playing everyday(might be a lie...18 month olds can feed themselves right?)
But by participating you gain rewards, as was said very early on, i just hope that by missing a few days or weeks here and there you won't be relegated to square one again.

Are you planning on having certain worlds restricted to certain classes of mechs like in MPBT3025?

I found it a great system that ensured that all kinds of mechs were used in the game instead of it just being assault slug matches.

[Bryan Ekman]

To draw direct comparison to COD or BF or WOW rank is NOT equal to player level. This is a separate concept In MWO, and one we have not discussed or revealed yet.

Thanks Devs. I think the LP idea is good, but will that play on honor as well? For example letting a pilot eject, before taking the killing blow. Not shooting ejected pilots unless they engage again. basic honor stuff. taking a hit for your bud, or team. I kinda like the system used in America Army 3, any chance we can see something like that?

Off the wall question. Will there be training needed to use, weapons, larger mechs? again like AA3. if you dont pass the training you cant use it. or at a major penalty. just a though.

I'm happy to see this happening. Godspeed

Rank being more along the lines of the ability to direct traffic and tell others where to go, not really in relation to a pilot's ability on the battlefield?

Also, as this question is not COMMUNITY WARFARE related, I'll give it a go here.

Any impending update on the relationship between PGI and IGP?

I know I asked the question in Community QNA 2,

Unless I'm missing something, this sounds dreadful to me. If I am reading this correctly, this says that, unless I have enough points from faction members coming to join my Merc Corps, I will not be able to work for any other Houses than the one I came out of. If this is, indeed, true, then it's pretty short-sighted, IMHO. Please, someone tell me this is not true? Or, help me understand what I'm missing in the description?

Well, Merc Corps are not exactly neutral usually, and it makes sense that it is that way in my opinion. As one of the Houses, I wouldn't hire a Merc Corp known to have done countless contracts for an enemy, I just wouldn't trust them.

Yes. Mostly true.

And did you have a specific question about IGP?

[Halfinax]

Really liking what I'm seeing in today's Dev Blog. Sounds a lot like what I was hoping for.

This statement demonstrates the spirit of what a loyalty point system achieves..

I have a comment abou the "lone wolf" class It sounds like this class will be pretty restricted you may want to add a "Bounty Hunter" category to this class. Using that type of class you can find a use for those points. Imaging a lone wolf character taking out a faction member in a challenge. Remember the Bounty Hunter and the Black Widow? It could be an interesting add-on to the class to make this class more attractive to folks who enjoy that style of play.

Turn this into a QNA question. I'd love to answer it!

First, Mr. Ekman, allow me to thank you for your time, which I have no doubt is coming at more and more of a premium as the summer draws near.

Was IGP founded with MWO as it's foundational game?

Who are the founding directors?

Are you and any other members of the MWO team part of the core investors?

It only seemed fitting that a publisher be created in a "build to suit" fashion for this game, knowing the licensing maze that has been created around this great IP.

Have I mined too greedily?
