Just curious, has long been a great supplemental source of Info, up there with Sarna, etc.
Great place to get the Record Sheets of most mechs to compare.

Last 48 have not been able to access it. Anyone hear what's up?

since it's a battletech site, I really doubt MWO is a concern.

I'm sure it'll be back up soon. It's just an invaluable resource...

I hope so.

Once I found Mech Factory for my phone, I've not needed to go there. For a free app, with all the current rules and TRO's, even the ability to export to PDF for record sheets is amazing for android phones.

Mech Factory is surprisingly in-depth and useful now that I've used it for awhile. Often while waiting I've found myself just reading through all of its info documents just out of pure interest.

I enjoy that it's replaced the books I take to game night, down to my phone.

books are better.

But none of this has to do with Solaris7

I am sorry for necroing this thread, just don't want to create a new one since one has already been created.
So does anyone know if it is offline still?

Still dead.

Have never heard what happened, either.

I'm still sad. I was using it for all my theory crafting stuff.

Literally same reason Camo Specs is having trouble - CamoSpecs/MUL/Solaris7 moved hosting services and Solaris7 needs a major rewrite to function well/at all. No ETA was given how long that would take. Updates on the forums there prior to that warned people who posted fan works to grab things as its not assured a returned Solaris7.com would have them. No idea what that would mean for the official TROs.

Wayback Machine is probably you best bet if you can't wait or don't own the TROs. PDFs are wonderful things though.

It was apparently lost in a server/hosting upgrade but you can still find old backups of it.

Mech factory is useless for the main thing i ever used solaris7 for unfortunately, because the locked ES/FF crits on Omnimechs are not in the correct places, and i mainly want to use it to check what can be built on upcoming Omnis.

Just download SSW and the Master Mech List file. Voila, now you can view practically all Mech loadouts!
