Surrender

Surrender is a pilot status featured in Front Mission 3.

Overview
When a generic enemy pilot is demoralized, usually by being put in a hopeless situation (e.g. having its arm with the most powerful weapon destroyed or running out of missile/grenade ammunition, leaving it unable to fight effectively), being outnumbered and/or outgunned, or surrounded, they will be forced to surrender.

Surrendering enemies will be indicated with the white flag icon on their portrait and acts as if they are stunned; they will gain a turn, but unable to act because they are undergoing a morale check ("Checking morale"). If surrendering enemies are attacked, even if the attack does not actually hit them, they will surrender and evacuate their machine (unless if the attack would destroy the machine's body, in which case it will be destroyed anyway), leaving it empty. Surrendering enemies will eventually recover after 3 - 5 turns, but they still can be forced to surrender again.

It is worth noting that named enemies (with the sole exception of Griffith) cannot be forced to surrender; they will continue fighting even on hopeless situations, although they will usually stand idle if they are unable to fight effectively.
