mucking about do oc's have a radar sig in space ?

[typhon]

OK this is NOT important, I was messing arround with mine drones and deployment , I was in a position where I had sc3 fully loaded and hanging around the planet I needed to recover oc1 from the planet so I used the tow comand and then return to base.

sc3 went to oc1 and got tractor on it, I gave it the RTB comand which it did at the point it got to the CC it doked and left oc1 floating out sid ethe CC, I could not locate oc1 on radar ( being a ground unit that found it self in space not surprising ) so i wonderd how to recover it , I could tractor it with the cc but thet will not recover it, this was an experiment so yes i didi leave the CC and space walk over to the OC and attempted to get in I will leave what happened too your imagination ( ie if you wqant to know try it ) thats what I love about this game EVERTHING.

So am i right do oc's have no radar return in space ?

Heh now that's funny! No you won't see them with your tac scan in space. The only way to get it back in your CC is to extract them by shuttle not tractor them. The only way I can think of recovering it now is to have the shuttle AI locate it and tractor it back to the planets surface. Then extract it with the shuttle the correct way and then issue the RTB command to the shuttle.

You could also destroy it, and then replace it at a station.
