A big ship should have a way of getting big re-enforcements, for stuff like domination where ships don't have warp drives but are slow can exist,
This is a simple concept, the ship while doing a mass recall cannot move, the module is very expensive and should take up a minimum of a 4x4 space, up to 7x7 space, requiring a lot of energy to power up and in a radius selected on the screen, ships ( selected by the recall radius reaching at least the centre point of the ship object) within the radius of effect will be warped into the area around the mass recalling ship,
The ships have to be in the radius and them moving outside the radius before the recall will not have them warp out.
It can use hyperium if a resource component is required or wanted

So like a hyperdrive beacon, but limited range? Hmm. Or I guess more like a hyperspace tractor beam to yank your ships there. I think that this would be too similar to the hyperdrive beacon ship part though. Maybe the hyperdrive beacon could have a recall button on it to order all of your ships in a certain radius to jump to the beacon? That would accomplish the same thing without having to add a new part.

So a go back button to get a better posisitioning you have a tank stay in the back ready to recall all fleets in case you need to, would be interesting but if ships in domination don’t have warp drives and that’s what this would be used for would the thing just force warp them there , can it only warp ally ships , or would it only warp your ships with hyperdrives on them ?

Also why do you keep downvoting your own posts?

An example of its use is that you can have one ship with the mass recall at your spawn area, and while your ship is in battle and losing far out,
Rather than riskilly having that ship halt all commands to warp back, the recall will warp it back while it can still defend itself with commands within that radius of effect

It isn't made to warp enemy ships, just your ships

Warping it back? Wont that just shoot it into the dead ring?
