The prices of the 1/3 of a mech on sale in the market are reasonably, but I have seen a single complete medium mech on sale for over 5,000,000.

If I sell a mech chassis at most I get 500,000, so there is something wrong here. Especially as, most of the time, I am not interested in the equipment on the mech, as it is mostly stuff that I already have and/or that i don't want on that mech. I think adding empty chassis to the market will be a good option.

I suggest too to have the salvaged mechs to be empty chassis. It will require a slightly change in the salvage awarded as we will get less equipment, but I find that getting the third part of a mech and receiving a complete, operational mech, broke verisimilitude a bit.

As that kind of change will require more work for the technicians, maybe we could get a second workshop in the Argo, Or in a second dropship if we ever get it.

you are selling stuff for 10% of its value, weapons, equipment mechs... everything.. personally, i would rather see 50% instead of 10% and counterballance it by making equipment rare (also salvage) and contract rewards reduced.. making money-making process harder.
