Fuel Usage on Follow

[Yonder (OP)]

If a faster squadron is in formation with or following a slower squadron (say a squadron of beam fighters hanging out in between the main battle group and the enemy), will the ships in that task force automatically dial back their fuel usage to correspond with the lower speed, or do I have to manually go to that task group and lower the max speed to get a lower fuel usage?

[Din182]

The fuel use should be directly correlated with how fast they are going.

Din is correct, ships have fuel range, not anything more complicated. They can go X million km and that won't ever change regardless of how fast or slow they go.

Excellent, thanks for the responses.
