  Once a player hits level 40, they could have a button at the space station to "Reset for Promotion" as on option. Upon clicking, it would set the player back to level 1 and increase their Rank by 1. For each Rank you have been promoted, you start with a set number of additional talent and recipe points (3 and 5s?). This would also "reset" the players Talents, effectively being a Respec, that they had to earn by hitting level 40. I feel this would be a relatively balanced means of rewarding players for playing well past level 40 and would in total reward then about 15 talent points by the time they are able to complete every mission currently available once each. This also would benefit Solo or Group players evenly, as apposed to requiring Station Currency to buy a respec, which would be a lot harder for solo players. This could also promote players to remain active for an extensive amount of time and trying new Talent Builds along the way while not completely breaking specializations.

  I personally hate prestige in Call of Duty much preferring the old Rainbow Six Vegas system of taking a long time to reach Elite rank but this is not a FPS shooter and I think a prestige system could work good in Icarus.
  
  I also think though anybody that's leveled 40+ will eventually get talent points/bp points when they added further tech tiers and talent trees in Chapter 2 and beyond.

  I am currently level 43 and have barely progressed into the first missions for the Arctic and Desert, completing one of each branch respectively. I feel like I am slightly penalized for playing how I do, because now I have no progression beyond blueprint points at this level. I would -love- to see something like this implemented so I can feel fresh in playing the same character and not feel like I am losing all progression for simply taking my time and enjoying the game on each prospect.

  I have another wrinkle to this talent after 40 conversation to consider, check it out and upvote if you like it.

  "This also would benefit Solo or Group players evenly, as apposed to requiring Station Currency to buy a respec, which would be a lot harder for solo players."
  
  The farming of currency by repeatedly completing the Strange Harvest: Bio-Research mission makes it so a respec costing currency is not harder by solo players. I guess one could argue it's faster when you got 3 people each going to one then returning to character select menu and leave mission from there to auto completed and you get the currency rewards. You don't even have to run back to the dropship. And yes I'm aware that they lowered the rewards from 100 to 50. I actually suggested they further address it https://icarus.featureupvote.com/suggestions/257780/balancing-bioresearch-missions-cooldown
  
  Respec Option Confirmation 😮‍💨 you can all sigh in relief now

  While the idea, that you could potentially get more talent points in the end sounds good, and starting from scratch again to do so doesn't bother me, I want to mention that levels 1-40 need a lot less exp than the subsequent levels, so, doing so 2 times, doesn't equal doing 1-80.
  I hit level 31 while not even trying hard to exp or whatever and am barely doing the prospect to unlock the Arctic zone.
  I would do it more like this.
  Max level still 99. You get Talent points only until 40. You always get Tech points until level 99.
  At level 40, or any level after that, you can maybe buy with some Rocketbucks and Exotics something like Special Training, or whatever.
  That would reset you to level 1 but this time around you can get Talent points until level 45 or something balanced and worthwhile.
  When you get to level 45 this time you can purchase even more training to get Talent Points until level 50.
  Maybe each time you do this, you can keep a few Tech points, again, something balanced.

  Not a fan, I would prefer exotics for this conversion only. Prestige does not make sense in the terms of this game.

  I agree with Meckle. Exotic conversion sounds like the best deal we can get.
  There could be a skill tree system in which the skills are unlockable with the exotics.
