What happens if a neutral pick up my crews? Do I get them back or are they interned by the neutral power?
-
They are picked up as survivors. You can drop them off at one of your planets to return to your crew pool.

They are interned and interrogated for intelligence.

Thanks the question is mote now, since they went to war... >:(
-
Whops, misread. Thought you said what if you picked up your own crew, which was dumb of me.
-
This reminds me of the issue where if a TG is told to pick up lifepods, the survivors are all saved by the same ship. Even when it has no spare lifesupport available. So when picking them up, make sure you separate individual ships from your main TG and have them pick lifepods one by one while you monitor their life support capacity.
-
It is a problem, but for the most part if your ship is going directly back to an inhabited system (and not staying on station) it can virtually always make the journey by spending MSP to keep life support operational. Military ships tend to be pretty fast after all. Cryogenics for survivors is essentialy for ships that intend to stay on station or for commercial vessels that typically lack engineering spaces.

Yes I never bother spreading them out, just taking the MSP hit. Not sure how much difference it would make since I have practically no spare capacity anyway, I guess the failures would just be spread out over more ships.
