Solaris Training Company

The Solaris Training Company is the new player faction in MekWars, housing new players for a few games until they have sufficient experience with the software and the camapign setting to move into a permanent faction. Solaris players operate under substantially different rules than other players:

• Solaris units are never damaged or destroyed. They are always repaired to full effectiveness after a fight, regardless of what happens in the fight.
• Solaris players get substantially reduced C-Bill payouts from their fights.
• Solaris players can only play the tutorial operations, Ground Tutorial and Aero Tutorial.
• Solaris players do not need to activate their armies in order to fight.

A player can leave Solaris after gaining 100 player experience, which takes 2-4 games depending on their performance. For more information, see Getting Started.

Experienced players can fight against players in Solaris, and get several additional bonuses for doing so:

• Units are not damaged or destroyed in tutorial matches, even for non-Solaris players.
• You can attack from reserve, and do not need to go active.
• Being in a tutorial battle counts double for your faction's production compared to a normal battle.
• Elo ratings are not changed by tutorial matches.
• You still gain resources from the battle:
  • You gain XP as normal
  • Your pilots gain XP as normal(with no chance of death)
  • You gain C-Bills at a lower rate than a normal battle(but with no repair/replacement costs, so it's pure profit)
  • You earn some influence, regardless of who the attacker is, and attacking costs no influence.
  • You gain more RP than a typical match
