Im kinda getting tired of the "salvage" mantra. I dont see my stable filling up with repaired salvaged mechs. And anyone I regularly play with can tell you I am an outstanding performer, yet the salvage rewards are often low. This does not compute.
Good performance doesn't always equal good salvage, unfortunately. If I'm in an LRM carrier blowing things up, collateral damage is inevitable and legging a target fatally is rare.
But he's correct in that killing with precise shooting to the legs in head makes for better salvage rewards. If all you're doing is coring your targets, you're going to get less money simply because you leave less of your target behind when it drops.
