Pilots as Valuable Objects ...

[Blackhorse_Six_]

I like to recover my Pilots ... 

I think there's a terminology problem with the whole Fighter thing ... When fighters go out, their pilots should register as "x Pilot(s) OUT", and when the fighters RTB, their pilots should register as "x Pilot(s) IN" ... When fighters are destroyed, but pilots survive, those pilots should register in the wing-display as "Lost" or "Missing" ... Surviving Lost/Missing pilots really need to be located via Object Detector, or, it would otherwise make great sense to have some sort of slow strobe or beacon attached to each pilot's harness or pod, just as it is SOP for earth-bound aircrew IRL today. If nothing else, give them a special whirligig like the weapon/system pick-ups that float around in space - right now, they are difficult to see.
