)Launching craft is...alright, i feel that the animation for bringing out the drone or spacecraft from storage should be sped up a bit but other than that, not much problem there.
However, recovering craft is really time consuming, especially if your Defense Drones (often) launch against a threat which is only on your Radar for all of 10 seconds, and now you have to spend a couple minutes of SETA'ed time to recover all of them because it takes so long for them to actually dock and store the craft.
What i would like to see in that regard is: the speeding up of the docking and storage animation for landing and, once you have researched teleportation, a more 'aggressive' form of the docking computer where as soon as your craft enter the pre-canned animation for landing, force it to teleport straight into storage.
Im not looking for an X4 version of CODEA or ADS (yet, but that would be nice in the future
) but moreso a stopgap until somebody is able to do something similar to that. It should make L/XL ships which can carry S/M ships much less frustrating to use when you want to use them in a carrier-like capacity.
