I'm sure this question has probably been asked 100 times, but anyone heard of some type of salvage such as mech chassis or components? I would think not in random battles but what about other types of battles?

No so far we've only confirmed to get cbills from battles

and XP of course

no and no. however, that doesnt mean it wont ever be a possibility. though, i personally doubt it, from all ive read at this point. i would love to see something like that, maybe take a bite out of that repair bill by not having to constantly buy replacement weapons. i would also like to be able to take a partially damaged/repaired mech out. i mean, if i cant afford to fully repair it, but i can atleast get the important crap fixed, im battle ready, word? word! kinda crap i had to pull in solaris 7 matches back in mw2 mercs. and i still won.

Dear lord. I know you threw that up as a joke, because I've seen much more eloquent posts from you in the past, but that hurts my brain.

I seriously doubt there will be salvage, and I'm not sure I'd want it anyway, as it doesn't really fit the theme of MWO. Let me explain.

If you're a member of a house unit, you're a simple MechWarrior. Salvage taken from battles goes to the Unit, not individual warriors. Think of salvage being what gets used to put your 'Mech back into working order if you get your ride shot out from under you, or the pool of equipment you're purchasing from.

For Mercs and Lone Wolves, you are pretty much contracted from a house for X number of battles (How I'm seeing it, anyway). The only time Mercs got salvage rights is what was written into their contracts. For MWO, figure that contracts offer no salvage rights, meaning the House takes everything but offers additional C-bills to compensate.

this is like the 100th Question on this Topic lol

And I want salvage !! not to have Salvage is not Logical !


Dont know why the Devs havent done anything on Salvage, it has to one of the most Fun parts about Mechwarrior Games... Sorting though trash at the end of battle = WIN
