Rescued survivors raise the crew's reputation

A crashed-pod or lifeboat survivor who is let go at a trader outpost ("Time to go" while docked) now raises the rescuing crew's reputation according to the zone they were found in:

Found in Reputation
Green 1
Yellow 2
Red 3
  • The reward goes through the same zone work as missions and bounties, so the usual ceilings apply: green rescues stop paying at the yellow reputation step and yellow rescues at the advanced step. It also writes the usual round metric row.
  • When the reward pays, the survivor says a short thank-you line ("They'll hear your crew's name from me."). Nothing else is shown beyond the existing reputation-step message.

Limits

  • Each survivor pays once.
  • Only pod and lifeboat survivors that came from a stranded site count. Convicts, plain strays and admin-spawned strays don't.
  • The zone is taken from where the wreck was found, not from where the survivor stands, so carrying a green-zone survivor into red space doesn't raise the payout.
  • The survivor must be alive and conscious, and no reward is paid if a player controls them.
  • Only the crew that took them aboard is paid. If the ship changed hands in between, nobody is.
  • The existing limit of 2 rescues per ship per round still applies.

Tests

voidcrew_ambient_strays_stranded and voidcrew_ambient_strays_lines are extended: no reward while undocked, 3 for a red rescue, no second reward, and the new lines exist.

Not playtested yet.

A crashed-pod or lifeboat survivor remembers the zone their site was in
and the crew that took them aboard. When that crew lets them go at a
trader outpost, the crew gains reputation as zone work: 1 for green,
2 for yellow, 3 for red, under the usual zone ceilings. Once per person.
