SOLARIS VII - A Synthwave Mix for Mechwarriors

[@Schregger]

Brother time to layer this. Toss in some duncan fisher lines, a few quips from specter. Sound effects and stomping. Tie it in to tie it in, lets go!

[@JasonSkye]

Hells yes, fantastic idea! I'll see if I can find the sound files from MW4: Mercs 😁

"Welcome to Solaris, now let me show you the sky!"

[@AlexandrZaytsevet]

I could envision a mini-series with this sort of vibe. Sunset over Solaris VII as a group of random nobodies scrounge together enough bits to enter a Jenner into the Light Circuit, all set to a synthwave symphony and glorious 80's kitsch and camp as they make their way up to the Fifth Circuit championship.

[@JasonSkye]

Oh yes that would be amazing!

[@MegaRazorback]

I would have picked an Urbie personally, sure it's slow as fuck but that 360 degrees torso movement would be a bloody godsend in the Light Circuit plus it actually has enough armour and can fit up to an AC/20...An AC/20 don't care if you're in another light mech, at the ranges the Light Circuit fights at an AC/20 is enough to either take out another light mech with a good shot or heavily cripple the other light mech even if it's not a fully connecting shot.

[@JasonSkye]

Ooof an Urbanmech with an AC/20 is a terrifying prospect!

[@MegaRazorback]

@@JasonSkye Yes it is! Only downsides to the UM-R60L is because it has that AC/20 it looses 2 tons of armor and can only carry 1-2 tons of AC/20 ammo giving it a very limited amount of use but in the Light Circuit both of those downsides really are a non issue as those matches are usually finished within 30 mins or so.

[@brad506th]

Man, if I ever hit one of those megamillion jackpots. (Like by mistake instead of government actors...) I would totally bankroll that series.

[@E8794v]

Came for the synthwave, stayed for the transitions.

[@JasonSkye]

Yay! Thank you 😁

[@scooterbot9503]

I give thanks to the RUclips algorithms for getting me here as I may have missed a hidden gem. As both a Battletech/Mechwarrior and Synthwave fan - thank you for mixing this! It's perfect for me and my hobby hours *stares at my wall of unpainted miniatures* or stomping face in MW5/HBS Battletech.
I echo the thoughts of some other posters and say that Duncan Fisher announcements layered would add an extra polished layer. Keep up the awesome work!

[@JasonSkye]

Thank you for your kind words 😁. I'm so glad the algorithm has picked this up! Stay tuned for more - hopefully with Duncan Fisher samples 😁

[@Illitha]

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

I grew up in the Eighties, when synthwave was a happening thing. I also played Battletech! So this mix is truly radical and awesome!! Will use it as game BGM later on.

[@JasonSkye]

Hells yeah! Glad you enjoyed it

[@thepbg8453]

Based on the art I thought up a mech and a history
Its a pre succession war Clint CLNT-1-2R with the AC/10 from the original test phase before they switched to the AC/5 with jump jets. Eventually pushed to the front lines in the wake of the Amaris civil war, it would survive in a damage state and would be gifted in leu of payment to Mercenaries, where it would see action through the 2nd and 3rd succession war losing much of its structure and equipment till being rebuilt in the build up in the late 3rd following the Helm memory core. Chosen for its decent speed and durability, it would be dubbed the "Swiftdraw" and replace its AC/5 with a salvaged ER Large laser to add some range and punch. Made for the regiments commander it would have 3 tons of communication equipment in the left torso to aid the unit in combat as a central communication unit (hence the antenna). With 15 standard heat sinks and 4.5 tons of ferro it was not the best mech on the block, but was a reliable old warhorse and cheap command mech. That is if they can get the parts...
I know this isn't the best place to post stuff like this, but it was a fun build trying to not splurge out on tech. It has a BV of 790 which is pretty close to the original Clint with a +1 to Lance initiative with its com equipment.
Again sorry if this is odd, cranking soundtrack BTW.

[@JasonSkye]

Glad you enjoyed the tunes! Thanks for the lore, it was an interesting read 😊

[@thepbg8453]

*DUNCAN* Fisher here. I just love the MechJocks of Solaris Seven. You'll never find a group of pilots more skilled or more crazy.

[@BladeLigerV]

This absolutely sounds like the music in the welcome terminal of a Solaris VII commuter spaceport. With several monitors showing active gladiator matches, a large picture window showing the city in all its glory, and a welcome sign in the center welcoming you to the competition capital of the Inner Sphere by none other then Duncan Fucking Fisher.

[@JasonSkye]
