Solid allows you to beat people to death with your bare hands, giving you the same average damage as when using a Knife (minus possible injuries). While it's not incredible, people are likely to underestimate how easily you can bash their face in.

The skill is also useful in that you can carry heavy items without becoming Burdened. This allows you to move items like the Microwave or Superfreezer to where they are needed most, such as Icarus Bay or the nearest Technician to repair or disassemble them. It also turns you into a prime candidate for carrying Old Faithful outside of expeditions - if you can convince the crew to spare the scrap for it.

Being how food processing, expeditions and being badass are generally Stephen's areas of expertise, this makes Solid arguably better suited to him than to Gioele, who has it as his starting skill.

As of Episode III, Solid and Wrestler characters can now boot a crewmember into an adjacent room for 2 (or 1 if the person is Inactive). Their destination is random and cannot be controlled. This is useful for moving inactives to storage rooms, but also to quickly get rid of a Pacifist or Guardian.
