[Suggestion] In flight transfer swap; Return to Base / Max in-flight hours

[HelmetHair]

Hello,

1.

Could we get implementation of a mechanic where if two craft were in flight we could swap their assigned bases?

So, if Craft Alpha leaves from Base 1 and If Craft Beta leaves from Base 2 they can swap assigned bases.

Reason being for moving teams of dudes and gear in a leap frog fashion without using a dummy third empty hanger.


2.

Could we get an implementation for a max flight time of a craft per deployment?

So, like in the Xcom files, a public car or Van could have a maximum amount of time before being forced to return to base starting when they launch.

Reason being is I left a squad of dudes in a Van for almost a month and I thought it was hilarious to think about how awful that Van stank...

1.
- crafts occupy a hangar even in flight
- I don't see an easy way UI-wise how to select the two craft which should swap places (I didn't think too much about it, but nothing pops up immediately)
- once hangar types are implemented, this would become even more pain in the ass

2.
- cars are already heavily abstracted
- they fly over oceans (public transport), have unlimited range (car rental, gas stations)
- I don't see why the agents couldn't live in a motel too
- and more importantly, I don't see any benefit in implementing this feature... if it bothers someone, give the car a limited range, they'll run out of fuel and will have to return home

Use the "canTransferCraftsWhileAirborne" option. You can “true” in options.cfg or in the options menu “Transportation under your own power”, I don’t know what to call it in English.

Doesn't work.

Well, then there is only one way out, enter the size of the space occupied in the hangar for ships, and ships with a size of zero will move freely. Is not it so?

Although in reality, don’t have to bother and make the elevator a hangar if you really want to.

That's not a hangar, that's Commander's emergency escape silo, Fantomas style.
