MINI-CONTRACT LAUNCHING!

Fairly big news in the megamek department: my instructor just told me we are not having regular class for the next two weeks (assignments are all done online). This has massively altered my expected schedule. Among other things, I would like to use some of this time to run some real megamek drops. Same rules apply as before; lance leaders are expected to coordinate lance members and schedule drops with me.

Everyone who wants to be involved please post your availability (the more verbose, the better) and be sure to spread the word to others to do the same. If you are not already assigned to a lance, be sure to contact me. Lance Leaders, it is your responsibility to let me know if there is a free drop slot in your lance for a new player.

Drops will be starting as early as tomorrow. Get organized and get ready for some killin'!

 

Same as before, pretty much anytime.

Detailed unit status saved to entitystatus.txt

total salvage = 13,346,559

lance payment = 80% of total salvage = 10,677,247 (round down to nearest 100k and divide evenly among members)

individual payment = 2,650,000 (round down to nearest 50k)

 

Sorry that some of this info is coming in backwards. As mentioned before, I'm having to still juggle this with a few other priorities.

Here's some more info on the contract:

Operation: Grapes of Wrath

CONTRACT INFO: The following is a very rough synopsis written by Tzeentch. He has the right idea so I'm using it to save time until I can write a proper background (thanks Tzeentch).

Remember... the amount you are paid is directly dependent on how much salvage your lance brings in. Salvage for each mission will be split 5 ways; 20% goes to the battalion's wallet and the rest is split evenly between each lance member. Take those bandits down with deadly precision if you want to maximize your profits!

PLANETARY INFO:


Planet: Weingarten (~17 days from Kobe)
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Weingarten

Weingarten has four continents: Wurttemberg (where the capital city Neuberlin is located), Schussen, Baden, and Ravensburg. The planet is best known for its vast wine industry. The mild weather and long growing seasons make Weingarten ideal for growing crops, particularly grapes. The unique soil composition of Weingarten provides a flavor that cannot be reproduced anywhere else in the Inner Sphere, wine from the world is highly prized which leads to large profit margins for exporters. For most of its history Weingarten was ignored by military forces. It lacks strategic importance, defense industries, or vital resources, so occupiers simply changed the planet's administration and raked in the profits from the wine trade.

 

Dragoon Rating:
B = Good = +2

-----------------

Payment Modifier Formula:
Dragoon Rating + (Negotiation Skill / 2) + Mission Modifier
(DR = 0~3) + (NS = [0~6] / 2) + (MM = [.75~4.1])

Objective Raid Mission Modifier = 1.6

2 DR + 1.5 NS + 1.6 = 5.1

---------------------------------

Successful Completion of Contract Formula:
no mission pay

Individual Mission Bounty:
no mission bounty

----------------------------

Overhead Compensation Formula:
Negotiation Skill / 2 (round up to nearest 1)

1 = None
2 = Half
3 = Full

Total = 1.5 (Half)

------------------------------------

Transport Terms Formula:
Payment Modifier x 10 = Transport Terms %

5.1 x 10 = 51% (50%)

---------------------------------

% of salvage rights*:
Payment Modifier x 10 = base % (rounding to the nearest 10)

5.1 x 10 = 51% (50%)

OPTIONAL MODIFIERS:

"No Payment" Formula:
+%50 salvage rights
-100% all contract payments

Total Salvage Rights = 100% w/ no contract payments

-----------------------------------------------------

Battle Loss Compensation:
(Dragoon Rating + Negotiation Skill + 1) x 10 = X%

(2 DR + 3 NS + 1) x 10 = 60%

--------------------------------------

% of support compensation*:
Payment Modifier x 10 = X% (rounding to the nearest 10)
+20% support compensation for "defensive" contracts

5.1 x 10 = 51% + 20% = 71% (70%)

-----------------------------------------------------

Signing Bonus Formula:
Payment Modifier = Signing Bonus %

5.1 = 5.1% (5%)

--------------------------------------

Advance % Formula:
(Dragoon Rating + Negotiation Skill + 1) x 2.5 = X%

(2 + 3 +1) x 2.5 = 15%

 

payment from salvage will be handled as follows:

payment to battalion wallet = total mission salvage "used price" BEFORE repairs multiplied by 20%
payment to lance in mission = total mission salvage "used price" BEFORE repairs multiplied by 80% (this number is then split evenly between each member to the nearest 50k)
