One of the most recent major improvements we have had to our community was the introduction of salvage in our gameplay and game mechanics. We know money are made through transcripts (please visit the Transcripts section for more details), but in many cases a unit can also obtain salvage at the end of contract. Not all contracts award salvage so please check the Categories section for more details.
If a unit takes a contract that can award salvage they need to consult the BSBT ('BONUS SALVAGE BOUNTY TARGET'), in the contract. If they achieve that target number they will be awarded salvage at the end of contract. At which point you need to consult the guidelines below in order to be awarded the correct salvage.
All request for salvage MUST include the name of the unit requesting the salvage, the MRBC contract the salvage is being requested for and the word SALVAGE in the subject line with the 'BTM - Contract Payment Approval' attached displaying the amount and type of salvage or it will be considered voided. As well you are required to accurately identifying yourself. Please include your signature with mercenary unit name, your rank, and any other details you deem necessary in all correspondence, and try to format your orders legibly.
ie: Subject: Black Wolf Rangers Salvage Award CM-EX-02-01
GUIDELINES FOR THE 'BONUS SALVAGE BOUNTY TARGET' ACHIEVEMENT
1. Divide the Transcript by 333 to determine the amount of BSBT salvage tonnage.
EXAMPLE: (Transcript is 78,530 words = 236 tons Salvage)
2. MUCO's will be notified of their BSBT salvage amount and be required to submit a 'Wish List' following the criteria assigned from the Salvage Category listed on the contract. (Minimum of triple the tonnage of their available Salvage amount.) Remember to only select salvage from the CURRENT MHB price lists.
EXAMPLE: (236 tons Salvage, the unit must submit a 'Wish List' of no less than 708 tons)
3. Current Clan Salvage rule on contracts where a Mercenary Unit engages a Clan but does not make the BSBT. (Divide words posted by 1,000 to determine the amount of Clan salvage tonnage) And allow the BSBT rule to be invoked in place of the Clan Salvage rule on contracts when a unit actually does make their targeted BSBT.
EXAMPLE: (Transcript is 90,090 words, the BSBT was 110,000 , did not meet the BSBT but it was still a Clan-Combat contract, unit receives 90 tons of Clan Salvage)
4. There are 6 Categories of Salvage: Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, Type-D, Type-E and Type-F , they are listed on new contract descriptions.
5. 5. BSBT Minimum Salvage award of 200 tons apply to the following type of salvage: Type-A
6. The Deputy Director will decide on what salvage is selected from a MUCO's BSBT Salvage 'Wish List'. Although please note that the MRBC reserves the right to add more to the list as they see fit. In the event the Deputy Director is not available the responsibility will revert back to the Director or whomever he appoints.
7. For Static Defense Contracts there will be no BSBT Salvage available.
8. Omni-Kit Salvage: Omni kit salvage will be awarded separately with all categories of salvage except Type B: Star League LosTech. MUCO’s are asked to use their own judgment and realize that if you are fighting pirates or periphery militias they are unlikely to have any Omni units in their inventory, and that applying for omni kit salvage rights on such a contract is illogical, cause even if it is awarded accidentally by the Deputy Director on such a contract, you will be notified by the MHB that said item of salvage will be confiscated without reprisal. Each MUCO will be allowed to salvage ‘1’ Omni kit per 125 tons of awarded BSBT salvage points following the successful completion of a contract, and will be asked for the “Wish List” to submit ‘2’ different kit options for every salvage kit award so that the Deputy Director can choose from a pair of items when deciding on salvage to be received. All Omni kits are recorded similar to any regular unit in the MHB TO&E record system.
