Suggestion: Add Way to Farm Componants/Kerenskys

[Lpaladin]

Just this, I don't like feeling like I need to be super picky with every purchase and decision. A big part of the fun of mechwarrior is playing around with lots of different chassis and builds, so it would be nice to have more freedom in this regard without worrying you're going to spend yourself into a corner.

A better way to farm components would be nice once you beat the game.

have you maxed out your salvage operations ? Personally I don't have issues with money. You can sell mechs you don't use anymore to buy others. Max out your techs so your mechs are ready to go after every fight . So there is no need to keep a stable of spare mechs.

I've tried to even out expenditures between salvage/repair/science since everything is limited.

It seems like since you have limited money with no way to earn extra, you should never sell a mech because buying and selling stuff nets you a currency loss every single time. So, if you sell something off and decide later you wish you'd kept it, rebuying is bad deal.

I really don't like the "you only get merits when you level" system. Since you don't really understand costs and what investments yield the most return, it's very easy to get paralyzed and underspend merits. Chassis XP has a similar problem, you're encouraged to save it in case you want an omnipod, but you're encouraged to spend it quickly on upgrades before the chassis it applies to becomes irrelevant and replaced by higher tonnage models.

I could deal with the scarcities and costs if I understood what the tradeoffs are, but there's zero information transferred other than, "this is what you can spend this on." Spending yourself into a hole or underspending and never properly using the currency/resource seems like it's inevitable. It's not a good system.

Speaking of not understanding things, why did I have to google the game manual to look up what the name of the star currency (merits) was? Why isn't there an in-game help or at least a link to the manual on the store page? Did I miss something?

How many times do you need to upgrade your salvage operations to max it out?

theres zero reason to ever keep anything then your 5 heaviest mechs specially if you're a dont give a crap about "Achievements" person. i ended the game with around 35mil in useless cash. all my mechs customized, all the pilot skills finished except "melee". wtf is that even in a clan game. clanners hate melee, its freebirth scum tactics.
