AtB Loot generation?

[TriplerSDMB]

Howdy!

I'm just starting out a new campaign, but wondering about loot, and how you guys & gals figure out how to generate it.  I'm thinking about using loot as a way to drive a story line, in that it's not just cash, ammo, and parts-but that's a part of it.  How do you guys reckon what your non-salvage haul is after a scenario?  I think if you're not in control of the battlefield after a scenario, you get no loot.

I see loot tables in the AtB 2.31 rules for pirates, but that seems kind of unclear if I happen to be a respectable Mercenary company . . .

Depending on how far you are into AtB, you really should be doing StratCon instead.
And you should watch the videos.

And you should join the discord. Generally a much higher response rate.

For those of us not using StratCon, maybe someone could list its benefits.
I tried StratCon once ... the very first scenario was a legacy one with an unfixable 0x0 map.
 ==>  not ready for prime time.  Back to AtB.

At some point I will need to find the final version of MM that supports AtB and has the most bugs fixed, before the devs start retiring AtB code to force everyone into StratCon.

I'm in pretty deep--couple of months IRL.  Discord's not always an option, but I am glad to see its there when I have access to 'normal' Internet (i.e. not at work).

I've got some notes jotted down @DamnKerensky and I'll post 'em later:  thoughts on cashm parts/ammo, and benefit modifiers for initiative, map choice, etc. based on percentage rolls (1d00).

Ironically those legacy scenarios - and their bugs - all originate in AtB and not StratCon.
