Lame question time regarding Sentry drones.
how do you recall them to drone bay if they do not move (have no speed) i am guessing the only way is to scoop then to drone bay?

thanks

Same as any other once you are within range.

well when i pressed R in space the drones changed from idle to returning in drone window, however they did not return because they have no movement, so i had to scoop them to drone bay. Is that the same as any other? possibly not as other drones (hob's etc) DO return

on a related note, i think sentries should be rewritten to be able to move when they are not shooting. once they start shooting, they should enter mini-bastion that keeps them in place for 15 seconds or so.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Once they are 'Returning' just fly over to them and they will enter your drone bay automatically.

Hilariously enough, sentries actually do move, extremely slowly. They sometimes move at 1m/s, I found this out when bashing a POS and I was on the edge of the shield with sentries. I noticed one of my sentries stopped shooting and when I tried to engage/recall it it gave me an error message that it was in the shields lol.
