simple, fleet leaves planet to go to own colony, takes resources, goes back to the placed it launched from.

Been suggested a crapload of times.

then why isnt it used?

I support this idea.

It would add strategy to the game play and fleet hunting.

I would point out that you could just deploy the fleet to the colony and deploy it back to the starting planet, but I realize that it would cost more dueterium. I guess I support this.

you can also turn it into a fleetsave.

resource saving is going to be totally different if this is the case. the game is setup such a way that u are responsible for your resource's management. play as it is. if a resource is left behind and u cannot deploy cargo ships for transfer then its your fault and u are at risk from getting raided. it is just how it is. adapt to it. every body else does it.

uh, pickup is a logical and realistic add on. i see no reason why this cant be added.

it changes the usual fleet saving tactics. and the transfer delay goes down to half.

it can still be caught by a lanx so its a risk. its not really a problem.
