I am already with the Argo and I have access to the independent planets, but when will I get access to the planets controlled by the other houses?
Do I have to increase my reputation? Or doe it get unlock as the story goes along?

At the moment we are only able to access the roughly 170 planets on the map centred on the Aurigen Reach.
We have access to some small number of Maria, Liao, Davison planets as well as some Canopian and Tairianplanets.
The game will not open any further into the inner sphere map from what we have now.

same here, 100+ hours in with allied ratings and 4* (nearly 5*) with the MRB.
Cant get to any of the houses area's still and last misssion is open. Sucks. Alot less detailed then first looks.
Still, Great foundations build off but looking into the dev's backgrounds, [mod edit: politics]

You don't open up the map.

I think access to house planets is rep gated.

I'm liked by House Liao but they will still bar my transport.
So I say lol no.

You gain access to the rest of the in game star map once you complete the final story mission.

Well... That's... kinda WTH?
Guess... I should just be focusing on getting good mechs and do the main mission then...

Apparently it opens up after you finish the campaign, IIRC there is a mod for it in the mod subforum.
This is such a weird decision to me, I get why we're limited in the first few hours, but after we have the Argo? Why should we not just fly into Marik space?

You can't leave the area of the Periphery close to the Aurigan Reach before finishing the campaign for story reasons.
Your benefactor is involved in a war that she wants you to be a part of. Yes, you're a mercenary company, but part of the deal is that you stay close enough to be available when needed. Darius even mentions it at one point "We shouldn't go too far, wouldn't want to be seen as skipping out" or something along those lines. If I didn't hafta take side contracts to get heavier mechs so the difficulty spike as you complete story missions doesn't start kicking my ass, I'd probably never leave Aurigan space. (I'm weird about story based stuff like that). Hell, probably a good 95% of my time, even on side contracts, has been in Aurigan space, getting my rep with that faction up so I can take harder contracts that give better salvage.
None of the other houses are anything more than indifferent to me at the moment

Do you have the link to the mod that unlocks it?

Yeah, I noticed this too yesterday. Very disappointing. I've always been a LC fan, even my Character is a discraced Lyran noble and when I finally wanted to return to the LC, the LC was still not even on the map.
Is there any place where one can get missions for the LC?

Not sure, but if you click on a planet, it will show you (by highlighting the relevant insignia) of what factions are active on that planet.

Funnyly enought, Taurian Space is the exception an actually open. (Don't know from when, though. I just noticed it after the "Kill the Dropship"-Storymission.)

Another case of the Illusion of Choice. This game is getting really annoying with that trick.

I agree, Replay ablitity is next to nothing which is gutting but i do see it as great foundation for moving forward. Hopefully they will listen to what they call 'hardcore' people and start shying away from (Mod edit: No politics) who have ruined gaming for true gaming fans. But i doubt it will go the right way. At least mods can go at it

Interestingly enough, after "Liberation: Panzyr" you can skip into Taurian space and it's a bit of a difficulty spike.
The explanation for not being able to take the Argo out of the Reach is "we don't want to look like we're taking the ship and running". (To be honest, I know of at least one Combine sympathizer who would totally do that. And I've given serious thought to "why don't I just dump this on Andurien, and buy off the Leopard's debt, tell Ana Maria which airlock to shove it out of, and live it up in the system of Port Moseby where absolutely nothing happens, ever.)

so....i finished the story and was no longer restricted so started heading towards terra on the way to Combine space.
however....while the map opens up..its just a itty bitty tinie tiny bit.
there is nothing available to travel to other then a handful of marik, davion and about twice as many Liao.
i have gotten as far north towards terra as Argo in Liao.
not sure if i am bugged or what.
really do not want to mod right now.

There is no mod that would give you access to the rest of the IS anyways and probably never will be.
