Hi everyone!
Thanks for all the feedback and to hear all your concerns. We take them seriously and we hope that you will be happy with this new system in the end.
Here are some answers to your questions plus a small teaser .
Monria will not be in the first release.
Correct.
Space creatures will be included in the first release of the Hunting Challenge.
It is now updated.
This is not true. We will still have other types of missions that might be more specific to a location or more advanced objectives. Now with the Hunting Challenge we know that every player will have access to the previous know Iron Missions for all creatures so that we focus on creating better and more interesting missions.
This is one of the reasons why we are doing this.
We don’t want you to be unhappy with the new system and the transition from the old. We will have a look at this again when we are closing in on a year after this release to see what actions are necessary to make it feel fair.
After the release and during the grace period you will not be able to start the next part of the chain. The first stage of the new system is available on the release as soon as have it unlocked.
We are on schedule for the release which is at the end of September if all goes as planned.
Please keep the feedback coming as well as suggestions what you would like to see in this upcoming Codex.
Happy hunting!

Will these changes be calypso missions only or will monria missions be impacted in 3 months as well ? Or does monria count under 'other planets' and comes later ?
Monria will not be in the first release.
Also, if I understand this correctly during the year long grace period you will only be able to finish your current stage on any iron missions. You will not be able to advance past that point.
Correct.
Ok I have a question for the developers. Are you going to take advantage of this change in the mission structure to introduce space hunting missions and maybe, (pretty please) the long overdue cargo missions? The recent change in space PVP suggests to me that space hunting missions are in the pipeline.
Space creatures will be included in the first release of the Hunting Challenge.
Dennis would it be possible to have the opening post edited to reflect what was in post #165?
It is now updated.
I find this disturbing that MA wants to get rid of NPC interaction.
Did any one say they wanted to automate their game so they don't have to go have a conversation, or have the choice to start a mission or not?

It has always been annoying to me that some hunting missions can be starting from the terminal, some I have to track down an NPC and some don't even exist yet. Without any clear indication of which one is which.
This should be a great new edition to the hunting system and much needed imo.
This is one of the reasons why we are doing this.
Please MA, think about this, it would be a fair way to change the mission system, without making a lot players unhappy. I don't think , that MA love to make a lot ppl angry, and in same case loosing trust to the player base.

I am mainly wondering if we got missions still not done, like say Warlock Stage IV, 30,000 Killpoints. If we finish it during grace period, will we automatically start on Stave V, 60,000 kp in new system with new reward, or will we start on Stage I, of the Warlock new mission system, like 1200 killpoints?
Is the planned release still on schedule? Will it come at latest, if going by what you have said on first post, Q3 2019, which means dead line is 30th September?
