So I have been sending it out looking for planets and it hasnt returned in a couple days it seems. There is not status above the planets saying it is out. Nor can I send it out to go look for more (have 7 planets now). In this time its been missing I have been massed (awesome) and it was not there to support me.

Your MS is set to return at 15:07 GMT today (March 13th), last sent out 24h before.
It returns on the nearest turnchange (should be ~2 minutes ago).

Re: Just checked, looks like it returned right on schedule.

Because while the game returns the MS on the next TC, it still uses the normal time when it *would* come back to decide whether to display the bar or not.

The status bar displays fine for 23.5 hours, but from the time it says it will return to the next TC (when it actually returns) it will not show up. I will change that. :)

Set up to say "Expected back on the next turnchange" when the MS is over time but still within the TC.
That should prevent further confusion. :)
