During combat missions, it is possible to salvage most enemy mobile suits/armors and their weaponry. To salvage enemy gear or machines, the object of salvage must be intact. If it was destroyed by sundering or a self destruct, it cannot be salvaged. The object of salvage must also be defeated, in the case of mobile weapons. Attempting to hijack an enemy machine or weapon while they're using it will end badly.
In order to determine if something is salvageable, use the following roll rules:
Weapon: 10 or higher
Mobile Suit: 12 or higher
Mobile Armor: 14 or higher
Boss machine: 16 or higher
After determining if something can be salvaged, anyone who wants that particular loot must roll for it. No modifiers, highest roll gets it. If nobody wants an item, it will be sold and the credits evenly distributed throughout the group.
