Comparing the CBills to XP ratio for Solaris to the other game modes and Solaris is well behind the other modes. It is actually almost half all modes, even Skirmish.

Is it using the same model as quickplay? That would be dumb given at most you have two players in Solaris and half the QP rewards are team based.

PGI...please?!

Solaris matches are done typically in less than 3 minutes, often less than 2, and only 1-2 mechs are there for targets. The rewards seem pretty appropriate, considering.

Except cycle for loading in/out makes them a minimum of 5 minutes each, making them 1/3 of a QP match cycle. Not 1/5.

They need a payout buff.

Oh and use Hero mechs.

That's really the problem. Slow loading time and the constant kick back to the mech lab after each game. If we could cycle faster, we'd have more games and more earnings.

I want XP buff. I was going to skill up vindicator with x2 xp in divison 7, but a win and x2 xp is barely, if even, enough for two skillpoints.

I don't typically use hero mechs in QP. So this is apples to apples except they are oranges.

Try this. Go to your profile and check game mode stats. Look at the XP to CBill ratio for all modes including Solaris and tell me what you see.

C-Bills:XP

Solaris - 179.38:1
Skirmish - 129.19:1
Incursion - 127.39:1
Escort - 125.88:1
Domination - 127.98:1
Conquest - 156.43:1
Assault - 126.49:1

Apparently Solaris gives out more C-Bills per XP point than all the QP modes. Interesting (Though I'm not sure why that matters).
