When can Mobius Tubes be played, and where do its ships go?

During Regroup, not at Start Turn, so a hand without encounter cards is replaced before you can play it. Tubes returns ships to colonies you hold, home or foreign. The FAQ says that with no colony the ships return to the warp, and the offense may first place up to four in the hyperspace gate; the exact limits in that case are not fully settled.
