Well, I often find that I want my MS back and dont care about getting a planet, cause we all know farming without a MS sucks. So, I think that you should be able to tell your MS captain to get his ass back to your planet. I know, it could be abused if your getting massed and you send it away then call it right back, so it has to have been out for 6 or 12 hours to be able to call it back... thoughts?

Much abusable, however, I would support a 'recall' button that appears in the SAME TURN you sent the MS out...

No, THATS abusable, send it away during a massing then call it right back... 12h wait after initial sending isnt really abusable...

i like the idea, belive x amount of time for it to be out like refueling

way i look at it i like using my MS but at the same time i like having ti out to explore so i use it maybe 2 hours of the day and with refueling and sending ti out kinda throws you off by a few hours each day. i wouldnt mind seeing a call back button like after 6-10 hours of being out but possible a MT or some ATs to have that option

everything cant be free

too exploitable

personA starts massing personB, personB sends out MS, when personA backs off, PersonB recalls it 6hours later and retals

I say no

me agrees with SS

I like the recall option but agree it would be exploited and would have to be at a cost, maybe in ATs, maybe if MS returned at 1/2 power.

Another option might be to set how long you want to send the MS out for,

Local system explore 12 hours

Medium range explore 18 hours

Deep space explore 24 hours

With better odds of finding a planet on longer searches

I prefer this idea as it isn't just calling it back at a whim.

If you wan't to use your MS to farm don't send it away...

I Like this idea

i also like the different distance/time options. sounds pretty cool.

specially if u could be even more committed and send it out for more than a day.

What about if the recall uses a market turn. That way can only be done 3 times a week.

Market turns are already used for ppt + merlins. No one will use them to recall their ms.

Interesting Idea, could be abused but there is away around it.

So your being massed send MS away, wait till turn then call it back, saves the MS for that turn,

Easy fix to that, " IF " you recall your MS, you cannot send it away for 5 days.

I like it. Recall it, cant send it away again for a while etc etc

I don't think people would accept 5 days waiting. What if you accidentally do it. If you've used your MT's, then it's easy pickings for anyone in the game to go after.
