Maintenance

From Invasion3042 Wiki

The Maintenance Cost of a unit in Invasion 3042 includes its day-to-day upkeep and pilot/crew wage. Repair costs are separate and require the necessary parts and repair points. The base cost for all battle armor and vehicles is $10,000 per Iday regardless of tonnage and crew skill, with the excepetion of those crews with elite skills. Mech maintenance costs increase with both tonnage and pilot skill better than 5/4.

A units maintenance cost is doubled if it is in battle or on patrol, and can only be decreased using Invasion Points (at a rate of 8 IP per 5%). Certain special edition mechs, such as the Uncle Sam and DONWIN, are awarded with zero maintenance cost.
