Docked wings can return home

Hi!

How would you feel about this rules:

1) If wing come from a carrier then it will not immediately in the vcr
but after a while the carrier appears on the scene
2) A wing can return home to his carrier or in the case of a home
guard to his base to get new ord and an addional load for its
batteries and leave home after a while again for the next attack runs.
3) Wings on carriers do this due a command switch "Return home"
4) Home guards due to a CC "RTN" of the base
5) The exposure time are dependend of the ord, battery size of the
wing and the ord hold & power of the carrier/base but scale
progressive with the wings size under same other stats. This means 10
wings of 100 fighters are faster recharged then 1 of size 1000.

This way smaller docked wings get an advantage which is important for
races which only have small bay sizes and therefore could only take
profit from the big wing changes for undocked wings. Which would
either mean that they can use them only stationary (small travel
range) or have to expose them to the danger of minefields.

And there would be an additinal tactical element as now wings could
appear in 2nd wave.

i like second wave, however sometimes id rather my wings be in the
second wave and my ships in the first, this i guess it all depends on
whats expendable in my case, i usually place the expedables in the
first wave and have the less expendables come second wave to clean up
the mess.

for example a great tactical manuever would be to place all
antifighter ships first wave to eleimate any fighter wings, then
second wave my fighters can rampage over the enem ships without
fighter wings trying to take em out. but since second wave dont exist
for fighters there is no tactic like i listed above.
