Salvage

==Description==
Salvaging materials is a critical part of the crafting system in Firefall. At the bottom of your inventory, there is a "Salvage" button. To any item, open the "Salvage Bar" and add items to discard. Depending on the rarity, tier and build of the item, different amounts of Research points, crystite and resources will be generated. This is the best way to get Research points and maintain a manageable inventory.
Most items in the inventory can be salvaged. This includes:
Suggested Salvage 	Best types
Weapons 	Any weapons that are not being used, cannot be sold in the Marketplace, or are a lower level
Modules 	Any modules that cannot be used, or sold. Also ones that are for different Battleframes or are lower level.
Abilities 	Abilites of different Battleframes, secondary abilities that are ignored, etc.
Consumables 	Consumables that will never see use. Example: get rid of those one-use LGVs if you have a permanent ride.
And most importantly... Salvage, of course!	See below for more information
==Research==
The Research Tree can be found at the Molecular Printer. This tree is used to upgrade the amount of equipment that is allowed to be manufactured. Example: To obtain a level 30 Recon - R36 Assault Rifle through crafting, you will have to upgrade your way up the tree to get the recipes.
The currency of researching is Research Points and crystite.
As previously mentioned, salvaging materials is the best way to gain Research points.
