I remember the devs mentioning solaris a few times and i want to star a topic to mention a few thing i thought would be neet to have.

First of witch is spectating since solaris is a kind of battle arena it might be neet to watch

second is betting if your watching a mech arena fight id wager some C-bills on a mech

third is how they could balance it i was thinking of limiting is to weight class no lights vs assaults
or they could just put in specialized gladiatorial mechs

that's my thought let me know what you think

Probably a whole bunch of other posts about this but I agree with your suggestions there.
Being able to spectate a match from the stands, vid screens and what not would be good fun.
Adding some wagers the matches would be good fun.
Matches I think would come in a variety of different styles.
1v1 of same weight class.
Team vs Team. Just use a drop deck limit determined by teams themselves.
1v Many could be done in a similar way.

I would only set up Solaris as innersphere only matches however.
The clans have something similar in their 'Trials' but the concept behind that should be different and not styled as 'games' with bets on the outcome, it can be kept separate.

Hopefully we will see some developments about this in the future, I think it would do wonders for the competitive units to have a structured and proper tournament mode. It would then allow for CW to head in different directions.
