Wingmen not sticking around...

[Ripperjk]

Perhaps I read something that was incorrect, but I was under the impression hired wingmen stick around after a save/shutdown. Thus far I havent managed to keep my wingmen after a save/shutdown and often times they'll just disappear when warping and never show back up.

Are they sector specific? What are the limitations that wingmen have that perhaps Im missing?

Thanks. =)

Aye I understand the warzone thing - heres a question - say I hire two ships. My fleet record shows I have 2. I jump around a bit (non-warzone) and after a while it shows 0 and they're no longer around. Does the zero indicate they're gone for good or just elsewhere and will return?
