Solaris DLC & 1 other question

[Jmac]

IS it worth it?

From the reviews it seems like it needs a patch/update

Would you buy it after the next update?

Seems like last was in march

I hate feeling like i am not playing a complete game

Two quick questions
#1 if i start in 3015 with only heros dlc does the map change ever?

#2 if i buy Rash dlc after you complete those quests does the map change?

Solaris is kinda unbalanced and a bit buggy by all accounts. you are only missing arena missions and the loader king. if you feel you need them by all means go ahead but general consensus seems to be it's a bad or at best mediocre dlc.

the map changes regardless of dlc owned and regardless of which quests you've done at predetermined dates. Fedcom will exist around when it started in canon, Rasalhauge will be founded around when it became independent in canon, and a few other notable territory changes (like the Saint Ive's compact breaking off from Liao) will occur when they should. you do not need the dlc to enable that functionality or to ever do the dlc quests unless you want to.

ignore the 'reviews'. Learn to make up your own mind and value is in the eye of the beholder

The 'reviews' as you call them are far to subjective and most are rage posts or they lack enough actual constructive analysis to be useful.

I agree pete, this game is just fine and only requires a modicum of competence. the solaris dlc adds matches in the hub worlds which, when i was starting out and almost running out of money, would make for a way to make money in the hubs. the storyline that goes with it is so so but the added weapons and features make it well worth while.

It brings 2 nice weapons for the big energy slot
B-Laser and PPC-X
Without them I'd disable that dlc.

The ai does free for all bad, just gang raping the player

I hate buggy messes

The DLC is extremely imbalanced in the sense that you get showered with ridiculous amounts of money and high tier weapons by climbing the ranks. The game now allows you to make insane amounts of money without ever leaving a hub since arena contracts respawn as you travel around the same hub. Whether this is good or bad is for you to decide.

Don't forget all of the new mech variants, which are pretty sweet, especially with YAML. The Crusader SA2 in particular is sick as hell, twin Blazers by default.

that is fair. I tend to forget they exist because I usually don't play arena missions and I don't think they show up in the mechmarket? (if they do I still don't see them because modded mechs take up 75% of my market past a certain point in the timeline)

Interesting
Thanks for the clarity
I’ll grab all the dlc on the next sale
It’s not the money
It’s the principle of it
I just can’t pay full price for old dlc

They do not. They only show up as rewards for leveling your arena fame, or as enemies in the arena
