When selling a Mech that I no longer desire - I noticed that despite the fact that I have spent money on both Armor and structure upgrades, there is ZERO increase in Mech Value.

Seeing as how these upgrades can not be removed or saved to be used in different mechs they should be valued into the Mech total sale price.

This actually sounds like a bug. You get credited for everything else (weapons, ammo) that are sold with the 'mech, so I would think that structure upgrades would as well. I haven't actually sold a 'mech yet (careful with my purchases since the beta went open) after the changes, so I didn't notice.

I'd write a bug report on this as well as try to keep this thread active.

Upgrades seem to be designed to milk you for as many c-bills as possible.

I've sold a couple of variants when I've finished with them, neither of which I spent money on upgrades for. The strange thing is that each time I've sold one, the armor seems to stay in my inventory, despite selling the chassis and the items attached to it. I realize that this doesn't help answer OP's question, however, it seems to indicate that armor stays in your inventory.

This must be some type of bug.

Its like upgrading your car you never get the money back.

Yes but you WILL add the price for the larger engine you added, better disks you added, better gearbox etc. Selling the old parts and adding the price of new ones should mostly cover your upgrading expenses.

As on topic, this might be explained with the fact that mech structure, armor or heatsinks are changed, not added, meaning you're selling something that was altered and is no longer compatible with default loadouts.
Just face it, it's a CBill sink.

Maybe something like FF simply don't have a market to sell to - the way the game is set up you buy every mech stock - so maybe they should be actually charging or reducing the price to remove the armor and returning it to stock so they can sell the mech to someone else.

Unless they start equipping variants with these upgrades it doesn't make sense for the vendor's to purchase them, just to remove them - no one would want to buy used armor or beat up/modified structural parts.
