MekHQ v1.23 Windows version.
When my Fortress (2613) was destroyed the crew survived and were retrieved by MekHQ, however their kills (5 of them) were not assigned to the crew. In a previous battle the same DropShip survived and their kills were assigned to the crew, so this appears to be related to the destruction of the DropShip. I have not checked to see if this occurs with other kinds of destroyed units where their crew/pilots survive.
- On a side note, when assigning kills to the crew should the crewmembers (read techs) receive credit for kills? Or should it be just the gunners/pilots?
Dropships are not fully implemented for the stable. They can be used to gain benefits for dragoons ratings and for fluff, but if you use them in combat you are on your own. They will be fully implemented in the next dev cycle.
I have just tested this and it is working fine.
I agree that there is some question about whether crewmembers should get kills, but I am not changing atm because it is actually a bit complex to change as crewmembers could in some circumstances get a legit kill (e.g. they are assigned to an infantry platoon as a secondary role).
