17. When you "Recover Units Remotely" from the sector you're in, it doesn't include the "Move to" command. This is problematic if you want a ship to move somewhere, and then return to its original sector and recover units remotely there.
I don't see what the problem is here. To do what you describe, all you have to do is give the ship the Move order, then the Recover Units order, specifying the appropriate location for each. You can give a ship several consecutive orders, and they'll be done in the order given.
Of course that can be done, but you shouldn't have to. Hence the nitpick. If you click Move To at position X, and then Recover Units at position Y, why should the game assume you want to recover units from position X?
I meant Recover Units Remotely, not (Launch/)Recover Units. Launch/Recover Units assumes your current location by definition; I would think that's because the command is used far more often than the Remotely Versions, at least in non-simultaneous games.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
