Crew System

This page explains how the Crew System (survivors from destroyed objects) works.

if this object has crew which can escape
 then
  roll a random number
  if it is larger than a certain percentage
   then
    multiply the object's cost by the survivor rate
    divide this over the appropriate divisor
    round that amount up and spend it on the appropriate survivor infantry

Whether this object has crew which can escape is determined by

Template:TTL in the object

The chance of them escaping is determined by

The infantry that escaped is determined by

Notes

• The Template:TTL infantry is created only from destroyed Construction Yards, separately from the regular survivors, free of charge.
• The Template:TTL infantry is created when the destroyed object performed a special function such as Radar=yes.
• Survivors from jumpjet VehicleTypes are spawned in the air, but magically appears on ground level when you attempt to move it.
• If the vehicle is in motion when it is destroyed, survivors will not be spawned.
• Regardless of settings, VehicleTypes and AircraftTypes(RA) seem limited to one survivor per object.
• In RA, the survivors from AircraftTypes were spawned as parachuters falling down, however, the logic appears to have been removed from the later games, and AircraftTypes that spawn survivors in later games will spawn them in mid-air, screwing up the movement logic and forcing the spawned infantry unit to remain fixed at the position it was spawned at, including at the same height.
