Site Frontier:Salvaging Units

From BattletechMUX

It is possible to Salvage destroyed Limited Availability Units left on the field. The benefit of doing this is that either you get a "charge" of the unit or recover it for a friend:

• If an enemy unit recovers a pilot's destroyed unit, he gains one charge of the unit.
• If a friendly unit recovers a pilot's destroyed unit, he returns the charge to the original owner.

Note: Only Fixable units are left on the field for recovery.

Note: Salvagable units left on the field are set Combat Safe.

Note: Salvagable units are only on the field for no more than 1-2 hours before being cleared. Any units being towed are exempt from this clearing.

Recovering Units

To recover a unit, simply use a mech with Hand Actuators (Use viewref/specs <unitref> to see if a unit has them), get in the same hex as the destroyed unit, and type:

pickup <id>

Where <id> is the two letter ID of the unit. Drag the unit to one of your faction's bases and type:

salvage

The unit will then be sent to the proper person depending on who recovered it.
