Great deal if you will use the mechs. Not sure if its for me though since I already have similar mechs that I rarely use.
Only exception for me is the Urbie. But its 1B short....

The Urbie just has extra JJs and higher engine rating to offset it's bad hardpoints. K9 would still be better, put an STD170 with 2x MPL + ML and Zombie. Posted Image

It's certainly enough firepower to basically vape anything in the game... 'Course, I have to wonder if hitreg will be an issue with that many projectiles zipping about.

So, for only $30, I can have 7 underwhelming mechs?!?

Pass...

I can get other equally underwhelming mechs for free with Cbills...

Ember is pretty meh. A nice 25% rof for only mgs. Other mechs have cool down quirks you can buff with skill tree for faster rof close to 25% The mechs look ok.

Judging by his language, I think what he means is that he's one of those weird roleplayers who only plays mechs from one faction and refuses to touch the other one. In this case, he's an IS roleplayer who doesn't want a Clan mech "polluting" his precious mech pack.

Theres nothing special about the hardpoints on these mechs, the heros are a let down. A real Solaris hero pack would have included Yen Lo Wang and Legend Killer.

The Solaris game mode info shouldn't have been posted, its so shoddy, like a photoshopped rough draft for a board meeting to approve an idea. Not something to actually post on your front page.

PGI please show some professionalism for a change with Solaris. Finish it, and test it and put it on a test server whatever before posting anything more, don't make it a half baked preorder promise let down.

Banshee with JJs is kinda neat I suppose.

For those who don't know. The banshee, mad dog and griffin are solaris mechs from the books.
The banshee and mad dog are from the novel illusions of victory and the griffin is from the warrior trilogy.

If it's dire stars vs other assaults, I think just about any assault survives the hit and finishes the dire while it's shut down. Not sure how long the shut** down is for that nowadays though. If they can get one or 2 back shots that's gg though


The shutdown culminates in certain death for the whale if you fire more than 6 PPC. It just takes a while. If you override and try to fire another round you explode immediately.

Or just a center tag for streakboats possible. Who knows how they will be after the rework next patch.

They're selling a new rifleman? While it's currently under litigation from Harmony Gold? I hope that means PGI is feeling confident.

It's the same model as the Roflman we already have, so it wouldn't cause any more problems than the one already in-game.
