I've never considered why this Crewmembers figure did anything to/for the game.......could be the stated quantity makes up a percentage of life rafts if the ship is sunk?
Thanks! I will try with this variable. The problem are the great merchants in TMO and GFO, launching few lifeboats. I understand there were few survivors in warships (they dead for the Emperor), but a tanker sinking with a wooden lifeboat and two rafts is not realistic for me. RFB launchs a more accurate number of lifeboats. I use Longer Sinking Time for TMO, so the ships last some hours to sink, and so few lifeboats is an immersion killer.

Best regards!!
