Better ways to salvage a mech:
1. Arm your mechs with only lasers & pulse lasers. This will increase the chance of salvaging mechs.
2. Aim for the head to kill the pilot.
3. Big guns like Ac's destroy components and the mech itself your salvaging, although its very effective in killing enemy pilots. When using these weapons make sure your pilot is at least veteran class to increase the chance to salvage the mech.
