fleet doesn't refuel with own tankers
« on: August 30, 2017, 08:28:01 AM »
I created a fleet with 3 tankers, when i do the training the fleet correctly refuel from tankers, but when i start moving after the training the fleet doesn't refuel from tankers. Why? I checked the class and is set as tankers.

The "refuel from own tankers" order is kinda buggy, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.  I usually split the tankers off and use "refuel from target fleet" instead.

I didn't set that conditional order because it will remove my current order list. If i understand correctly they should refuel automatically, just like with the colliers. Only during training worked.

Tankers will only refuel the fleet automatically during fleet training. At other times, use the Refuel from Own Tankers order (a normal order, not conditional). This can be done at any normal movement location, including a way point.

In C# Aurora you will be able to set automatic underway refuelling but that is because fuelling is no longer instant in C# Aurora.

I see, thanks. Then i'll refuel at every jump point.
