（中文解读在最后，结论是尽可能全灭敌船员，因为收益比击毁敌舰要大得多。）
Default RewardsEdit
Most fights in the game yield default rewards. Some event-related fights do too.
Here's the list of default rewards:
Destroying the shipEdit
The ship explodes, leaving behind a substantial collection of useful scrap material.
You receive a medium amount of scrap and resources.
Killing enemy crewEdit
4x: There are no more life-signs remaining on the ship. You strip it of useful materials.
You receive a high amount of scrap and resources.
2x: With the crew dead, you are able to take the fuel out of storage. You also take all the scrap you can manage.
You receive a high amount of scrap and fuel.
Now that their ship has been emptied of hostiles, you search it. Eventually you find a prisoner who offers to join your crew.
You receive 1 random crew member and a medium amount of scrap.
You find a weapon system on their ship. With no crew to stop you, you can install it on your own.
You receive a medium amount of scrap and a weapon.
击毁敌舰只能得到标准的战后金钱和资源奖励。
但灭敌全员后，以下情况之一可能发生：
4倍机率获得高额金钱和资源奖励；
2倍机率获得高额金钱和燃料奖励；
普通机率获得1个免费船员和标准金钱奖励；
普通机率获得1个免费武器和标准金钱奖励。

我现在的感受是，高级版中，似乎击坠敌舰也有一定几率获得武器，甚至是人物，不过概率非常小，只遇见过两次。
不过总的来说确实杀船员比拆战舰收益大。

　　在在这个游戏里，遇到的人无论是不是有仇的，都有可能打一架。最常见的战斗理由就是对方为了避免被攻击而先下手为强，于是我等必须反击。
　　说实话，这个游戏所设定的宇宙文化本身就很残酷的说。在主角逃命且急需资源的前提下，这个残酷就更甚了。
