a more detailed salvage system would be great..

EG

Mech components

the Smallest chance to receive a heavily damaged a assault mech arm, leg or component
A small chance chance to receive a heavily damaged a Heavy mech arm, leg or component
A small medium chance to receive a heavily damaged a medium mech arm, leg or component
A small large chance to receive a heavily damaged a light mech arm, leg or component

NOTE Engines come with the center/core of the mech, but all are heavily damaged. The higher rating and the type of engine (XL, XXL, Clan, IS etc) the higher the cost to repair.

Player Base Structures to repair said equipment, use C_Bills and take away the C_Bill cost for skills, so not another C_Bill sink is added.

The player then should be able to sell the component on a black market or if a house/clan is associated with the mech sell it to the house/clan. IF the player has good standing with the house/clan increase in C_Bill buyout.

Player community groups could have their own bases that community members could add parts to. As an example of how it coud add a lot to the game and the people who play it, look at warframes crafting system and look at all the possibilities it let the players have. Not saying MWO should copy it exactly, its just really done well.

Another missed opportunity. This is necro thread. Have been salvage requests since 5 years ago. Alas they are incapable.

I'd LOVE to see part/equipment salvage and, on the other hand, repair cost, at least in some of the game modes.
And please let it replace the anyway obsolete loot case thing.

Have heart for cheap equipment and actual in-game economy!

Surely the supply caches should be counted as salvage? It's not every match you get one but play enough & it's guaranteed eventually. You also get payed in cbills for salvage for ever match you play & this is shown in the match end screen, this allows you to choose what to spend it on & makes for much happier Mechwarriors.

Sadly PGI will try and argue that the Salvage your asking for is presented by the supply drops we earn
