We discuss the conditions for having no-scale solutions of type IIA and IIB supergravity compactified on orientifolds with SU(3) structure. Supersymmetry is spontaneusly broken at tree-level by the effect of the intrinsic torsion. The torsion induced mu-terms in the world-volume of D5, D6 and D9-branes are presented for the particular case of twisted-tori, and the arising patterns of soft-terms are discussed for pure moduli mediation.
