Hey, Mossfoot, when 2.2 drops, how do you want to handle it if you are in a ship launched fighter and it is destroyed? I recommend a +2 if there is one or more hired crew operating the ship, or +1 if the ship is on straight computer AI i.e. no hired crew on board. But that's just a suggestion. I'll update the program to 2.2 when Horizon 2.2 drops, but need to know how you want to handle it.
Also I'd like to know if you'd like to modify the SRV table if there is crew aboard. Seems like if there was crew aboard, it would make it more likely (at least somewhat) that you'd get picked up.
I had already added a modifier for crew when you crash in the SRV, but just tweaked it now.
Being in a fighter, though, is irrelevant. You're operating it virtually while still in your cockpit. And I'm not sure having multiple crew would increase your chances of being found. More distress signals, I suppose, but certainly nothing huge.
Changes Made:
Ship Ejection Table:
WINGS/CREW/PASSENGERS
Being in a wing should improve your chances of rescue since you are in constant communication. Being on your own provides a slight disadvantage (which can still be made up for in a variety of ways on other tables). Note: these bonuses apply even if your wingmates are not in the same system ("I've lost Bob's signal. He was over in Achenar, call Search and Rescue!"). Likewise, having a crew means more distress beacons to be picked up, as do the escape pods present in the passenger cabins. However, since you're all ejecting into roughly in the same area, there are diminishing returns on the bonuses provided. Multiple crew and multiple passengers provide no additional bonuses.
Flying Solo -1
Wing of Two +0
Wing of Three +0
Wing of Four + 1
Additional Crew +1 (Human or NPC - stacks with wing)
Passenger Cabins +1 (stacks with others, only if occupied)
SRV Ejection Table:
WINGMEN/CREW
Wingmen and Crew can help coordinate your rescue and feed information to your ship to help retrieve you.
Flying Solo -1 (relying on ship computer only for retrieval)
Wing of Two +0
Wing of Three + 1
Wing of Four + 2
Ship Crew/Co-Pilot +2 (Human or NPC - does NOT stack with wing)
