BetterSalvageShares

Preface:

NOTE: This mod does not work with Story or the Sidequest High-Value missions. They appear to use pre-defined contract terms rather than the template used for procedural contracts, and it would be a huge pain for little profit (since those missions you usually get good loot from already) to edit each of those individually-defined contract scenario files. See the stickied comment I made on the NexusMods page for details: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/335?tab=posts&BH=1

NOTE: This should not conflict with most other negotiation point and salvage share mods, since they only change the max number of negotiation points available and the max number of salvage "slots" available and don't touch the number of salvage shares gained per negotiation point.

Because this comes up constantly in the comments section for this mod, and every time I've checked/verified it myself or had a friend do so it appears to be working fine...
If it appears to not be working, ask yourself these questions:
- Did I remember to close and re-launch the game after activating this mod via the in-game mod menu?
- Did I remember to travel to a new planet first after activating this mod? (contract specifics and their negotiation values are only generated upon arrival at a planet)
- Did I remember that this mod specifically only works for randomly-generated missions? (not campaign missions, DLC questline missions, or missions with are tied to base-game side quests - basically if a mission/contract has a symbol coloured anything other than white, it is not randomly-generated)

More salvage shares (5) per negotiation point spent. Means you don't have to dump all your negotiation points into salvage before even knowing what mechs you're going to encounter in order to salvage a nice mech.

This mod changes the salvage share "step" value from 3 to 5.

Every contract starts with a base of 5 salvage shares, and every negotiation point you put into salvage gives you another 5 salvage shares. So whereas in vanilla you'd need to spend 9 negotiation points to get 30 salvage shares (3 + (9 * 3)), now you only need to spend 5 negotiation points for the same effect (5 + (5 * 5))!
