Thats not a bump, thats a poke :O

I would love to bump against it XD

Bumpity bump, people seemed to like this suggestion. Let's have more feedback and a decision.

I will add my yea vote for this.

It would also be really cool if you could give your missions different return co-ordinates rather than automatically returning to the start planet.

And deut is definetely consumed immediately upon launch like Shaftoe said. Just try launching a fleet and then recalling it. You don't get the deut back. Somewhat annoying if you make a mistake when launching a big fleet and have to recall it.

I've wasted so much deut this way. Anyway, I agree with this idea, but if you are going to change the coordinates to a different place than the starter planet you might as well do a Deploy mission.

The topic's idea I like, but you don't want people to get deut back if they recall. Otherwise, how often would I be on people's overviews doing "I am bored and hoping you are peeing out a kidney-stone right now" launches?

Isn't that how all your launches go?

I, too, like the idea of a "pick up" mission. Would make a lot of things that much easier. But you have to ask yourself if easier is always better for the game.

this would be an epic thing in the game. it would save a lot of grievance on flipping though all the planets and relaunching.
i'm thinking the next question would be how to make this implemented. is one thing to bring the idea up but another to solve it and program it

*edit* DOWN WITH I.B.... and shaft is still cool

I love this idea.

How it should work would be to send like a normal mission except that you will be saying how much of what to pick up instead of what to take.

It would have the three fields that you could manually fill in or you could hit the full load button and it will auto pickup all resources in the same priority as hitting all resources does on a deploy mission.

In the event that you tell your ships to pick up more of something than what you have then it will leave that dedicated space empty.

eg. Pick up orders were 100k each metal deut and crystal when the fleet lands you only have 50k metal but you have 200k crystal and deut available. Your fleet will only pick up 50k metal 100k crystal and 100k deut and return with 50k empty space.
