    My only complaint is that it's introduced again as a different mode, so splitting up the player base even more and giving solaris or QP or FP queues of more than 30 mins :x

    Ideally solaris should be 'the QP mode' where you can participate in matches, ranked (tournament) and unranked (quick), with a small MC reward when you're at the top of your division, and have FP on the side where you can earn MC/C-Bill/Salvage rewards for assisting to capture a planet (though the modes probably need a rework, for example with different captureable spawn points to make the game more lively).

  4. Cool Solaris!

    Nice job on the announcer.

    But what are we going to do about only 1v1, 2v2?
    Seems like that might promote a path to the dark side of mech design...

    Very true, I'd love a solo queue FFA for 8 mechs, so one-shot builds are not going to be king (at least, once they get a good system in place to avoid sync dropped groups)

    I would like to see a spectator mode integrated with a a c-bill betting mode, but that's probably too much to ask.

    They did incorporate an new way to soak for mc with cosmetic mods... Not my cup of tea, but not a bad way to scrape in revenue I suppose.

    What a shame that those mods would be an additional burden for PC's - my old PC just go below 30 since decals showed up...

    IDK, i'm not too excited for Solaris. I mean, i really want to be, but.... just feeling - it's about damn time for the long awaited Battetech Game and the SP with epic Campaign MW5:Mercs. After the last Mechwarrior Game many years ago, i really need some Stories=Substance, no longer empty Shells pls.
