So I have a survey ship that I didn't set conditions on and it ran out of fuel.   

I made a tanker, put a refueling system on it. . . can't find an option to move that fleet to it and refuel.  So I had the tanker join the fleet and move to its location.  In the old version you could equalize fuel. . . .  do not see an option to do this now.   

Is there any way to refuel ships that run out of fuel?  I have been pouring through every submenu but I'm coming up empty.   

Thank you

Is the tanker marked as a tanker in the class design screen?

I believe so, yes:

There is checkbox on the right-hand side that says "Tanker", below "Collier" and "Supply Ship". Try ticking that and trying again.

Also worth noting that, unless you have at least the base technology "Underway Replenishment X% Rate", you'll need to stop the fleet you're trying to refuel before refueling takes places (note: trying to go somewhere, even without fuel, counts as moving, so you need to cancel all outstanding orders for the refuel to take place.)

So I have the tanker acting like a tanker after checking the box in the design screen (thanks Jacen), I get it to come up with the sub-options to refuel.  .  .  .   But it still won't refuel.   

I stopped all orders and even conditions to stop it from thinking of moving, but for what ever reason I cannot get this thing to take on fuel.   I added the tanker to another fleet, tried the option to refuel from tankers, the fleet moved and went to the location.  .  .   didn't refuel.     

Ok, tried join and refuel target fleet.  .  .  it joins the fleet.  .  .   doesn't refuel the empty survey ship.     


Edit: Maybe something influencing it, when i ticked the box to make it a tanker, it says "minimum fuel set to zero" in the bottom right that I'm not sure how to influence.

I'm running into this issue as well, I even tried setting the refueling priority on the subject ship to be higher than the tanker's.

What do these two icons in the main UI do? Hovering over them provides no tooltip.

So I was looking at Medal Management and there are following medal conditions: Habitable World Discovered and Three Habitable Worlds Discovered. What is considered as habitable world in this case? Cost 0 planet or maybe less than 2 cost planet?

You need to add a refueling piece onto your tanker, you should start the game with it researched.

How do you remove components when designing a ship?  I can add them all day long, but unless I'm blind I simply can't see where to remove them.

Well, damn, as soon as I asked this I figured it out.  You have to double click the item while under "Class Components" https://i.imgur.com/yb7qCsn.png

Class Components radio button at the top of the window, or use Wide View.

Is possible to set destination of Jump Point in Space Master? For example if I create Alpha Centaury can I link it to unexplored JP in Sol? It was possible in previous Aurora but I don't see the option now.

Guys, how do you get the events to show up in the main window?
I've selected 'events' in the display tab but no text on screen.

I now use the log, but it allways gets forced to the background when I advance time.
