Recalling robot fighters..

Post by MTATHAM »

my robot fighters occasionally launch for no apparent reason, i'll be weapons cold, doing a long range telescope/grav scan, and they'll launch.
but i cant figure out how to get them to come back before i J or just inject so they don't get left behind. i'll get to <1km from them, and come to a halt, but they just seem to enjoy flying round in circles instead of docking so i have to wait 10-15min RT before i can H to my next destination..

Any ideas?

For Fighters just press H to send a recall signal. You can use it anytime and cancel the countdown before jump, then repeat until all fighters are landed.

Trying to jump and cancel the countdown does not make all the escorts and fighters I have on the Imperial Star Destroyer come back reliably.
Often I end up with countless (I did not even try to count) numbers of cancelled countdowns.

Is that the only option?
