This thread will be for PGI to take ideas for when they plan for the Solaris arena mode. Please leave ideas, and converse about other's thoughts. Polls will be created and credited to those who's ideas caused their creation. To start us off I am leaveing my own idea here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Solaris VII has a series of mechs associated with it, and i was thinking about them being released like the pre-orders when the arena mode comes out. There are a few problems with this though...

1- Melee, a huge part due to weapons used by these mechs is currently useless.
2- All of the "official" solaris mechs are currently ahead of our time line, leading to advance tech that is not in game at the moment.
3- Most of these Mechs outside of our current time have a wait time that not only outspans the game's life time, but even some of the livetimes of players.

So here is what i propose; when solaris is released time periods are ignore unless the equipment on the mech is edvanced enough to require programing for equipment other than weapons. Some weapons may be switched out for one already ingame if close enough to one already in game: for example, x-pulse lasers would be replaced with normal pulse lasers. Mechs requiring melee will also be ignored until the feature is implemented. This may lead to low amounts of wieght classes so PGI may need to single release some. I also think these mechs should get income bonuses when used on solaris much like hero and champion mechs do in other game modes. Please leave imput and give ideas for PGI. I leave you with a list of Solaris VII mechs that may be useable and their weights.

Light.......................Medium............Heavy................Assault
-Flashfire................-Werewolf........-Onslaught........-Juggernaut
-Koto......................-Daedalus.........-Prowler............-Sasquatch
-Longshot...............-Bombard
-Porcupine.............-Ronin
-Copperhead..........-Tsunami
-Silver fox

Don't really care. I personally always assumed that the standard mode was the equivalent of a larger scale Solaris arena match so to me I don't really understand what the difference is going to be either way outside of smaller drop amounts.
