Can't find one of my fighters again.

Hi I'm one of the new guys and I have been sitting on the side line and following these BC games from the very start.

And now I did it - bought BCM (yes I know that the gold version is due to release....). And I'm really enjoy every minute of learning the robes of this great game. Keep the steam up SC. This is the way to go. No big companies and suit guys telling you what to do and not!

I've been training some of all the different possibilities in the Training Academy - Commander. And I have seen no combat yet.

Ok here is the scenario. I put my AE as pilot on FC1 and make it fly to TRION and make planetfall. Its very dark but I manages to get the craft down thanks to VTOL. I get out of the craft and take a walk - everything is fine. Then I got a crazy idea - what would happen if I EVAC AE? I tried - I was back on the bridge. Ok then it was time to recover FC1 but I couldn't find it anywhere in TacOps.

I know it was crazy but it is possible with the BCM technology to make ships hyperjump and cloak - but there is no help in finding a craft on a planet?

So what do you do? Put all FC and SC's in the priority list or?

Cheers

Ok I guess that talking to one self findes a solution. Read the VCF....the AE has to be on TRION and then FC1 comes back on the zoom lists....

"You will no longer be able to use Tacops to zoom-to any space region that do not contain the CC, the AE or a probe. Similarly, planet regions are viewable if the CC is in the same space region as the planet; otherwise the zoom-to object procedure does not work - making it possible to lose support units on a planet. Some were using this exploit to view regions they had support units in even though there was no probe there."

Stupid me.
