As mentioned above, only task groups with existing orders will generate this message. Make sure you remove all normal, default, or conditional orders.

Yup, remove any & all orders for the fleet or it will try and fail producing the out of fuel message.

Unless it's a terrible gas guzzler you could probably refuel it with a specialised fighter sized tanker.

Yeah doublecheck that youve pulled all conditional orders from them so that they arent constantly adding a refuel at x order.

That or divert another fully fueled ship out to meet 1 and transfer a little bit of fuel. You might end up with another ship stranded out of fuel, but its generally how i get my empty geosurvey and gravsurvey ships back before i get a couple of dedicated tankers to send about.

Also, if you think that 8 hour intervals stop industry from producing: Nope, you just have to go through 15 intervals here, and a industrial increment will happen sometime on one of these, so the new ship will be built nonetheless.

Do you have a default command to refuel if <10%, 20% fuel?  if so then remove that default for the ships out of fuel and they will should stop force reminding you they have dry tanks.  That should allow you to build a tanker to save them.

Hope that helps.

Abandon the 2 that are out of fuel. Sorry.

I have 2 ships out of fuel, and a 3rd almost out of fuel.   No problem: just build a tanker and send it out to rescue them, right?  The problem is, if I try to run a 30-day increment, Aurora automatically knocks me down to 8 hours.   8 hours isn't enough to trigger industrial actions--those only work with 5-day increments or higher--so I can't build anything.

What do I do?  This is probably just silly user error, but I can't see an option to force a longer duration, or to allow industrial and research actions at increments lower than 5 days.
