Devs:Fighters need to keep up with mothership at full impulse!!!

The breach instance is the pain in the butt for carriers: the fighters cant keep up with the mothership at full impulse. Especially inside the voth ship. You cant launch fighters while they stuck somewhere behind when you go forward at full impulse. Carriers depend on the pet to deal the extra damages. No fighters equal no dmg.
I used recall to dock my fighters but for some reason it took a long time for them to dock, Hence, it's either wasting time to w8 for the fighters or no fighters. This is a problem when you need to go fast to the next stage to rescue the ships for the optional.
Fighters should move as fast as carrier or reduce the time for docking to zero.

But with no way to set a nav waypoint, they should at least easily be able to rejoin on you, even if the fighters are 10-15km away. And yeah, I've had this problem on occasion, in CSE, with my slavers, on my MU Vo'Quv.

On the inside, just like with the Crystalline Catastrophe, you read the map. When a room is about 30 seconds from being done, you recall your pets. By the time the last ship has fallen, your pets are ready to go and you can move on.
Think smarter, not harder when it comes to pets.
Hmm read my post. I did say I used recall, and I wasn't talking the outside. I was talking about inside the voth ship. I use my carriers for burst dmg, so I've always used recall and relaunched when the target is weaken.
The point is: the damage is reduced for carriers when the its ability doesn't work properly. I was asking the devs to fix it, not how to play a carrier.
2. The pets should be able to maintain formation as you move, not wait until you're gone and then chase after you. It looks absolutely ridiculous to have a string of fighters chase after you 10-20 km away like a bunch of lost ducklings.
In the mean time, the workaround is to remove your hangar bay then reinstall it and summon new pets. This can only be done outside of combat.

And considering that part of the tradeoff on a carrier is that you get fewer weapons since the fighters are part of your weaponry, letting them get lost is beyond poor coding. Imagine a cruiser where two weapon slots vanish when you go to full impulse and move too far. Yeah, see the problem?
An AI capable of responding to hazard spots and moving out of them so they don't eternally get squashed by every sub power core closing in breach would be handy too. Mind you, the aforementioned Avenger pug could do with that too...
On the other hand, it is sometimes amusing when you warp out of a system, as the camera lingers on your orphaned fighters flying across the screen where your ship's just vanished. You half expect a speech bubble:
".... HEY! Wait up!"
system Lord Baal is dead
Transwarp, and no more fighters.
You either have to have no fighters for the whole first half, or the whole second half.
Old way was better, if left behind, you can get new ones.
Now, they are left behind, and you can't spawn new ones, you are screwed.
Yes but like I said earlier, there is a bug with recall and they don't always dock with the ship unfortunately.
