All joking aside, the Commando is the quintessential Steiner light mech. For a long time they had a monopoly on its construction.

That (sadly) is how it has always been.

RIP Tharkad... unless DEVine intervention happens... again.

Also, this 7 day deserter period thing is crap. Or events need to be announced farther out than 7 days so that people can switch sides.

Eh. I suppose Steiner's main planetary defense forces are better off with one less potato.

If anyone needs me, I'll be running scouting missions.

Ok, regardless of victory or loss, we get a good reward system. . . and an Atlas to boot for us Inner Sphere players. Looks like someone listened to what we had to say on that last event. Yes! Thank you, PGI. Now start listening to us more, and we may yet get this puppy on the right track. <-- (yea, it's wishful thinking, but hey, it could happen. Never know till you ask.)

Interesting event PGI, but when could we have the Refusal War event?

Ok, I have switched from Clan to IS! I want that Atlas.
Need to buy a Bushwhacker for IS scouting.

Now, as for Loyalist stuff - does 10 scouting matches qualify, or do I have to suffer through 10 "Invasion" matches that are probably going to be Siege missions instead of something fun?
If so, I may just stick with scouting to get the Atlas.

Considering that all the FP rewards require 150 match score except the last one, can we confirm that we do need to "Earn 250 Matchscore 15 Times" since the pattern seems to imply 150 15 times would be the next tier as did the previous "BATTLE FOR..." event?

Also, why is the Jade Falcon Guard reward a Smoke Jag Holo Globe?

To PGI -

If you are going to allow 55 ton Bushwackers, Griffins and ShadowHawks equipped with RAC weaponry to play in scouting mode you need to reinstate the use of 55 ton mechs including the StormCrow for the clans. It is currently too biased towards the I.S. particulary since the I.S. now has MRM's and Streak SRM 6 rocketry. at least two of the I.S. mech types have jump jets, one has ECM and one of them has an inordinately high number of missile hard points.

ECM counters Streaks pretty well. My Shadow Cat had around a 50% win rate in the last event. SSRMs and Mpulse, plus lots of dancing around the enemy.

I am testing a flamer+srm build for the IS side (I want that Atlas!) scouting and it's working well. I'll probably pick up an ECM griffin.

Confirmed that Scouting works for getting out of probie period as a "loyalist."

Umm Matt your quotation had 2 questions in it. Your answer implies the wrong faction globe and the 250 match score is incorrect and both "fixed" = changing the latter to 150.

And i just realised I F'd up going steiner merc instead of steiner loyalist 3 days ago >_< Some reason i thought the jag / kurita event was mercs as well as loyalists. Guess ill have to do the steiner event in the last 2 days.

Also Matt, can you please answer this question.
Can the new event system split FP into 12 man invasion events and 4 man scouting events or thats beyonds its capacity ?

Because I (and I expect a lot of other people) have hardly played our favourite game mode (FP invasion) because it is more efficient to do these event numbers in scouting/too time consuming/difficult to do them in invasion mode.

It is too late to change it now, but I hope PGI realise in hindsight, these loyalist events and the "lose 25% faction rank when you leave a faction" , all that does is dissuade people from doing FP coz they lose what they earnt/would have to invest too much time to get to the higher ranks again. (eg, I was Smoke jag rank 11, intending to eventually get it to rank 15) this event system now = go to falcon for their rewards and my smoke jag goes back to rank 8, So i would have to grind 3 levels for nothing to get back to where i was before continuing to rank 15 ? No thanks, you've just turned me off your game even more.

And to the people replying "its supposed to be for loyalists only, not faction hoppers" , they system as it is, makes this for faction hoppers, If they have designed it as "anyone who has spent more than 75% of the last 12 months as a loyalist to that faction, would have been a way of making it for loyalists instead of faction hopping.

The Holo Globe reward is Fixed.

The Main Prizes require 15 Matches of 250 Minimum Match score.
That was on purpose and will not be changed.
Want to entice players to compete in the Main Conflict and not just farm Scouting.
Although it could still be possible with Scouting only.

[Mallorn Windstrider]

250 does seem to be outside of the pattern of the scoring for the other achievements. We need confirmation of whether the 250 match score is correct.

True, however, I won't be farming through the Scouting. Got some serious FP points to earn that Davion Rank of Leftenant General. Looking forward to that.

250 is the min match score Goal for the Mechs.
