================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Solid Snake is a new design from the Kressely Warworks, and shares much of the same
    chassie as the popular Lineholder. This has had a twofold effect. It has helped keep
    production costs down, and before the first production run has finished Kressely has already
    sold all mechs to be produced during the first run. Ease of matinence and an abundance of
    spare parts  (due to the Solid Snake and the Lineholder sharing virtually all the same
    electronics, actuators) should keep the Solid Snake round and popular for a long time.

Capabilities:
    The solid snake is a infighter that is highly mobile and can take  pretty heavy punishment.
    Originally slated to be the first mech produced by Kressely that used a newer Light Fusion
    Engine, the deal fell through and a alternate means of powering teh mech were needed.
    Deciding to use the same engine produced for the Lineholder allowed for only minor tweaking
    to be done to the chassie, though the chassie visiually looked the same as the standard
    steel version of the Line holder, it wasnt.  Endo steel was used internally, though all
    power leads, actuators and connectors are the same as the Lineholder. Ferror fibrous was
    used to give the mech 10 tons and 97% coverage for its chassie. Weapon wise it really is a
    uninspired set up. But for the weight class of the unit it really is quite impressive. A
    pair of Johnston Parti-Cannon PPCs are mounted under each arm with Intek (Another Lineholder
    item) backing them up. Though the weapons are pretty basic it has allowed Kressely to once
    again create a unit that is cheaper (the Solid Snake runs 5,499,916 C-Bills. to the
    Lineholders 4,515,666 C-Bills) that can Skirmish with nearely any unit out there and in the
    hands of a competent pilot give even the more powerful heavy design  run for thier money.

Deployment:
    Much like the Lineholder the Solid Snake has shown very brisk sales for the first run. And
    these new units can bee seen through out the IS with more orders comming in daily.
