It wouldn't in VB, since there was no way to transfer survivors from the shuttle to the main ship. I suspect its the same in C# but I'm not sure.
If that is the case, a solution is to essentially swap the cryo storage on the hospital ship for more hanger decks and build loads more rescue shuttles. Kind of a hospital ship with mobile wards that go out and do the actual rescuing, then dock with the mothership and treat their patients in-situ.
