Now, if there was only a way for the game to "reward" you for rescuing the flyboys you pickup in those situations. I'll have to "test" them further, because you might get the 150 renown points for each "survivor" picked-up... "Lifeguard" missions are a different story, and their Objective renown do count for your "score". It is still fun, even if they don't count for anything, and helps contribute to that feeling of participation. I do the same whenever possible, even if I have to wait around for nightfall.

i was about to ask that very question.
normally, i do not execute lifeguard missions however i am testing GFO for webster and playing things according to hoyle.
so, if a lifeguard mission is assigned and we pick up five survivors, the "objective" is met and changes from orange to gray. if we stick around and pickup another "x" number of survivors, is there point credit given? by points i mean points towards a successful mission rating (-3 to +3). renown comes later.

the follow-up question is the one you posed above: if survivors are rescued outside of a lifeguard mission, are points given towards a successful mission?
