Recall Device... mhh. Mayyybe something to force fighters to dock for repairs? Don't know if that would be useful, though.
I don't miss the old game at all, but I do miss Uomoz's Sector and its modified Omnifactory. The one with the neat blueprint and scrap mechanic.
Another ancient mod I quite liked was the Shadow Order. Pretty overpowered, but still.
Oh and Tore Up Plenty of course. Though that one's probably gonna get updated at some point.

i updated the clock above in the quote. someone poke alex to see if hes even alive.
For situations like the above maybe there could be a "scramble fleet" option at the start of combat that costs a ton of CR/autodeploys everything but allows us to fight just the original fleet, no allies or enemy support.
Hmm, maybe. On the other hand, this is a "get out of jail for (not) free" card, where there's already an option to do that where you just play out the escape. This feels like yeah, it'd add a choice, but it's a muddy choice because the two options feel similar.
Hmm, retreat is "I can't win this, so I have to escape with as much of my fleet as I can", whereas I would see scrambling as "I can only win against the foe I'm currently facing, and am willing to fight them at a disadvantage to do so before their allies arrive". Retreating would be best for fast fleets, scrambling for powerful ones. Right now a slow fleet is dead if they have to run from an opponent they can't defeat, and that will become more common once fleets can gang up on you. This would give them an option that allows survival.
If scrambling your fleet also blocks retreat for your side (lore-wise it could be explained as attempting to punch through the enemy fleet before their allies arrive, so you're effectively surrounded once battle starts), the two options become even more distinct.
