Refueling
« on: October 19, 2012, 01:17:13 PM »
So, my captains decided they would fly towards a comet with a ton of mining equipment, however on the way they ran out of fuel.  So being the benevolent ruler i am i decide to rescue my captains (and the ships + cargo).  I designed a ship with massive fuel storage space (to the tune of 10 million liters or some such obscure number).  I build it, and fly it out to the task group.  Now i cannot for the life of my figure out how to refuel in space, using the reserves from Deliverance (my tanker ship). 

How do i order my ship, to share its fuel with the taskforce so i can get my economy moving again?

There are several options.
If your tanker ship actually has the 'tanker' box checked, it should have a 'Refuel Target Fleet' order available with other task groups. Other fleets would also have a 'Refuel from Target Fleet' order when looking at them.
Or you could merge the task groups and equalize fuel. Or you could use the manual fuel transfer from the Miscellaneous tab of the individual ship window
