If you gonna cloak your sc by mistake before fighter bombers get back into drone bay the control over them is unrecoverable lost. In most cases they'll now float anywhere in space, not even on a grid of a celestial.
As you can't even probe them due to any strange reason you'll have to get new ones, this sucks hard! There's no way to get them back and I think this can't remain this way.
What I want is simple, either enable them to being probed OR implement an additional option to re-establish control similar to the system scanner interface for probes.

If I remember correctly, you can't assign Fighter Bombers...which would mean you'd have to warp off-grid THEN cloak to lose them.
Not supported. You lose drones that way PERIOD, no matter whether you're in a 5mil vexor or a 20bil hulking e-peen. Learn to scoop your drones or, for the love of all that is holy, stop ratting in your SC...

I don't have a problem with losing them if there's a way to get them back. You can just warp back to whereever u lost ur usual drones and scoop them. But that's not an option for fighter bombers which follow you and which are lost anywhere in space and not at a specific position where u left them in ur vexor for example.

Originally by: Lykouleon You lose drones that way PERIOD, no matter whether you're in a 5mil vexor or a 20bil hulking e-peen.
Actually, not true. You don't loose your drones if you warp off grid if they are currently in a 'returning' state. You do under certain situations with fighter bombers.
(I'm kinda assuming that) they just mad a dirty hack to make f-bombers non-assignable and that's where we get this quirky behavior (such as f-bombers appearing to be back in their hanger, but still being in space and disappearing from your drone bay if you jump out).
Also, this issue has very little to due with ratting SCs. Its an issue you face when jumping supers into systems where you may not have a safe pos-- which in the middle of a war, happens a lot.

Clearly supercarriers aren't powerful enough so they need a boost like this...
or not. If you're dumb enough to leave your fighterbombers out when you warp or cloak, then you don't deserve them.

Fighter bombers do follow offgrid so why shouldn't I warp off and use this advantage? But in some cases you have to cloak as fast as possible when you land on your safe and then you're screwed.
BTW my SC has never seen any NPC -.-

If FBs are unprobeable, they should be made probeable. Any other change is not needed. ___________

Not needed. Do increase the signature of FB weapons by 100% though. ------------------------------------- I like to fly around and shoot stuff.

i know you can find lost fighters with combat probes
if F-bombers can not be found that way then that should change so you can find lost FB as well

All drones can be probed with combat scanner probes. If fighter bombers cannot be probed then it is a bug and you should file a bug report.
Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig. |

fighters are probable, bombers not ? that of course sucks and IMHO this should be a bug which has to be fixed fast.

If I remember correctly, there is a feature being developed right now (might even be deployed during Incursion patches?) that allows the recalling of drones. This mostly came about for people DC'ing or accidentally warping off without their drones.
As FB's and Fighters are drones...this feature will likely affect them as well.

Add a ping function to the carrier classes, or make it a module even so that salvage ships can be utilized. Set it off and any 'deep space' (ie. lost control) drones light up with an overview beacon for X minutes.
Depends on whether CCP makes the Gallente salivate when/if they make the 'reconnect to drones' feature a reality. We have it for probes so it should be doable.

Why not just put a pos in your ratting system? No need to cloak then.
