sorry I did not want to make the title to long

anyone remember how the loyalty point deductions work?
I thought if you once where a member of a faction and moved to another faction
you would get a deduction for each Mech you killed

or is it a blanket deduction based on which side your on (Clan or IS)
so killing any Clan Nova Cat Mechs you get deductions??

thanks in advance

I believe it is faction specific. So if you frag a Steiner pilot you lose Steiner lp.

seems like I should not be getting any deductions for killing a Clan Nova Cat
maybe I missed yet another change

I think its a holdover from the initial FP design where loyalists didnt get shafted and you could easily switch between factions. I dont know where PGI was going with the idea because people would just switch between factions that didnt fight each other anyway, or they would simply choose not to fight a certain faction they wanted to keep LP with.

I dont know what happens if you lose LP to go below a faction rank, i dont think you lose the stuff you gained, it just makes it harder to rank up in that faction again. Doesnt really matter now though sine there are only two buckets and loyalists get shafted when they try to leave a faction.

Edit : Even if you have 0 LP with a faction the screen will still show you "losing" LP. Just ignore it.
