Title: Refuel and resupply conditional order
Post by: Norm49 on May 12, 2020, 01:00:47 PM
Now in the conditional order i and only set on action like refuel or resupply, we should be able to do both.  If my ship resupply and have only 60% why wait until it get to 30% or what ever the other conditional order is set to and come back? The ship is already there it should be able to do both action at the same time.

can someone explain meaning and actions of refuelling. I am still having problem refuelling fleets that are empty of fuel.  I am trying to refuel an empty fleet with one tanker, I order it to join and refuel. which do I check on (Ship design Display)  "no Auto Refuel" , "Refuel own fleet" , "Refuel own sub fleet", "refuel own  fleet tankers" And Why which would help me clarify.  I have tried variations of all these, but I always have to detach tanker then get fleet ship to refill from stationary tanker. which is very long winded. I am confused with how these orders are worded. because if I join fleet,  the tanker is part of a fleet, so how can it refuel its own fleet,  tankers and sub fleet  regards

'Refuel own *' orders are to allow refuelling while moving (with the appropriate tech), so a tanker can be included in a task force to extend the range.  This replaces the old 'balance fuel' order.

The simplest method right now to rescue a stranded ship is to order the tanker to move to that location, wait for it to arrive, and then order the stranded fleet to 'refuel from stationary tanker'.  Changing fleet structure isn't necessary.

The lack of a 'refuel stationary fleet' order is on the wish list.
