TF training for unarmed ships?
« on: December 08, 2012, 07:25:21 PM »
Is there any value in doing TF training for ammo trucks or fuel tankers?  They don't shoot, but they're often traveling with the fleet and I wonder if their TF training affects the speed with which the fleet responds to move orders.

If they are in the same task force as the combat ships then it will be important for them to get the training.  If you keep them in a seperate formation then how fast they respond won't matter to the combat ships.  If however they are being escorted by those combat ships which quickly follow orders while the support ships don't respond quickly you will see a seperation between the two groups that might become a problem.  It would depend on the actual geometry of the conflict as to whether or not it was significant.
