In their current condition, hangar pets often glitch- sometimes getting stuck in recall mode or flying off across the map to engage a random enemy.
When this happens, they're useless. It used to be we could simply spawn more, which caused the bugged ones to despawn. Now, trying to spawn a replacement simply fails.
The only way to fix the problem now is to get out of combat, wait, then un-equip and re-equip the entire hangar pet slot.
It's stupid- it causes lost ranks in the currently spawned pets, and causes any team mates to scream about you being AFK.
Why isn't there some way to right click a bugged pet and reset it? Or despawn it? Or anything?
50km can still often not be short enough, like in the voth fortress, you can be in another area in that ship and pets are left behind and stuck but still not far enough to despawn when you need them! What recall should do is if ANY ships fail to dock after say 10 seconds, no matter how far away they are from you they should be forcibly docked. would solve a lot of problems with stuck pets.
Or, a beam/warp pets to your current position feature. That combined with forced docking after 10 seconds in recall mode would solve a lot of problems.
