as much as i agree that vehicle recall needs to be balanced so it becomes non exploitable i really think that the whole "RDV should come down and pick it up idea" is a really bad idea. we all know how bad RDVs are with deploying vehicles (some of the time now admittedly, things have improved a lot) and how much worse they were in the past. can you imagine how bad they will be if hey had to do something more complex like picking a vehicle up, not only could they become wp farms like duran fears they could seriously screw up vehicle deployments for a team if one got stuck on something. keep the current mechanic and like others have suggested add a recall lock based on when you last received damage.

RDVs bringing vehicles in is an equally bad idea, then. Just have vehicles teleport in when you issue the request. I mean, the very first time I sent a vehicle back, I thought, "You know, teleporting them down would be easier than up, from an available power perspective..."

I'm in favor of teleporting assets back and forth, would be nice not losing dropships to invisible RDVs halfway to the flight ceiling....

Unfortunately I'm also in favor of following lore, and if we're gonna have RDVs come down, you need to have them go up, especially when the recall message even tells you an RDV is coming to get it....

Stacking damage mods is the main reason RDVs pop so easily to railguns, it's the main reason anything pops so easily to railguns. If it weren't for that, you could just find a safe place to recall just like you have to find a safe place to deploy.
