Should be home in 3ish hours and will look to finish up.

The problem with the ER Smalls is that you have said they aren't covered by Close Assault Tactics skill so switching standard smalls for ER smalls would be counter productive. So many things to consider! :-D

In reply to Michel Dubois (msg # 105):

Close assault is actually an option that has been phased out, but i'm allowing it since there seems to be renewed interest in it.  It was always meant to function for weapons limited with a maximum range of 3.

This description may change, but at the moment, this is the official version on the books.

ie.  I would consider allowing them to be used with ER SL, but only at a range of 3 or less, might be okay, i'd have to think about it.

I thought about that too.... the $150k CB is a NICE gift. However, if allows me to swap things without having to make a roll, that eases the process a little bit in my mind to begin things. That would be a HUGE boon to the mods I want to make starting out.

but.... youre trading the stuff away so i'm not sure what youre saving, ML rolls are pretty easy to make.

Its a TN6+. Not too bad. I was thinking it was one of the higher ones I had looked at.

Up to you Michel. If not, I'll switch to the $150k then.

I dont look at that stuff here JOaquin, go edit your post in the repair forum so i can find the information when i look for it.

Lancers/Brigade are wrapped up so I'm going to finalize that bookkeeping.

Auctions will end within 48 hours of me wrapping up the contract bookkeeping.  So if theres stuff there you want, get your bids in.

Will salvage amount be restricted by storage space or is store for missions with no resupply lines?

does someone know how i can heirloom the val im in...cause kitten suggested it but truth be told i don't know how to do that minus ask her nicely to deduct the C-bills and just say its as such...

ALL Lancers please check our Unit's ready room thread.

Heirloom mech cost is a percentage of the mech value.

so...would that be something i jot down in the repair bay so kitten knows? since i cant access my sheet or anything...

Sounds like a good place that she will be sure to look at.

Unless you're walking off with an entire mech or tank, Salvage goes straight into unit stores.  If you dont have the space for it, then you either have to throw stuff out to make space, or wave it good buy.

Entire tanks/mechs are an exception.  A value will be applied against it, and 20% of it's estimated value will be handed over.  That's double the normal salvage of 10%.  After the contract, the mech will be available to purchase by any member of the unit for 'normal' cost (you still have to pay a finders fee,but you wont need to make an availability roll)


[You're essentially doubling your money for salvage, by not using the Freelancer salvage units for recovery.]

So if your salvaging with a 9.5 ton vehicle you better have extra space to store your loot.
Sounds like the unit storage allotment may need some tweaking.

If you only have the single Karnov, and it shows up for salvage operations it can cart off up to 9.5 tons of 'stuff'.

It might be less, but it's a cap on the stuff.

It's not all bad news, after you fill up the unit space, you have an opportunity to 'use' the stuff, or sell it off to various members of the unit that might want it.

After the contract is over, you can sell it to anyone in the campaign, or dump it in the open market for list price.

Are any more auctions being added? Trying to avoid availability rolls if item or buy auctions will be happening.

not sure if there would be a point in putting my LRM 10 on the auction block, since im sure those are common.

Buy Auctions are a thing of the past, it's all about availability rolls now.  It's better this way, the auctions will sell you availability rolls, or a bonus to them, and then if you win them, you use them for whatever you want, so they're equally useful to everyone.

Yeah, I'd just sell the LRM 10, to large to keep around and you really wont find a buyer for it in the unit.

Mmmm okay, well I was also wondering about promotions and experience buys, etc.

In reply to Akarian Euclid (msg # 123):

No Promotions or xp buys this time out, they're around in many auctions, but they're not a guarantee to show.

o.O

That 150k cb xmas bonus looks so good, but i'm never going to have a chance to get a plugsuit anytime soon either... >.<  (ponders ponders)

Too bad I can't buy your plugsuit off of you Penny ;)

You'd rip the seams and ruin it.

:P

I know they have one in my size...already wore it.

It wouldn't be to wear yours it would be to get it off you...

Technically, that was an Infantry Suit, not a mech warrior one, that might bean occassional amazonian omni infantry cadet that might have ended up using.

you never actually wore the blue ones used for mechwarriors.
