Sorry to bother you pip but I do not know how this works, Do you think the thread should be closed/deleted and restarted with a proper headline (engineering drone should reclaim when on patrol order) or just leave it as is?

Feel bad for causing extra work and spreading misinformation. Will donate some more to FAF to ease my conscience.

Yeah I tested again too and no the engineering drone do not reclaim when on patrol.

I have now tested all races SCU:s (excluding Nomads) and they all reclaim when on patrol.

Apologize for being lazy. Just tested with UEF SCU and it does reclaim on patrol. I assume the other races do too (but will check). Shame on me.

SAKO_X´s point regarding the engineering drone seems to be correct though. It does not reclaim on patrol. The shoulder drone can not patrol.

Was pretty sure the Harbinger had been changed to reclaim on patrol in some of the recent patches but could actually not find that note now.
If it is technically possible and not too much work to implement the reasoning for it is rather obvious and it would promote more use of the SCU.

The Harbinger was changed to reclaim on patrol in the 3626 patch.
Also sorry in advance if this has already been discussed or if it has been implemented without a note (I have not played in a while but plan to start playing again).
