Re: Who uses salavage?

Using salvage for say straight repairs = yes
Harder roll using say a salvaged medium laser for a like medium laser as per rules (+1 I believe).
Using non-conforming parts for what was originally designed = No
I'd prefer to sell clan parts for hard-earned c-bills and buy far more equipment I can actually use (you know technicians actually know how to repair etc) also how many mercenary contracts work it's bottoms on seats, more mechs you field the more money you get. Sure a improved dragoon's rating might give you more money but the possibility of limited replcement parts for non-confromed equipment you have salvaged isn't going to help you in the long-run.
Or at least that would be my opinion in different technology levels. If for example you wanted to swap a PPC for Large Laser and 2 Medium Lasers I generally assume the customisation is going to require extra parts than just the salvage you have picked up, energy couplings cables would be different for both especially since it would be inefficient for the old 3025 mechs to carry extra internal power cabling for equipment it doesn't use.
