Title: Fuel Gauges
Post by: Jumpp on December 07, 2012, 03:44:44 PM
Is there a display anywhere that gives the total fuel (in liters) carried by a TG?  Or a display that gives the net fuel use per unit time or distance for a TG?

Can always do it manually. Though I suppose that that is not much fun. If there is a display for that, I would love to know too lol.

There isn't one but it is a good idea :)

For the next version I have added the current fuel and max capacity to the Cargo display on the Task Group Orders tab of the Fleet window. For example:

Current Fuel: 5,300,383 / 10,000,000

Well not exactly that but I use "Equalize Fuel".

That distributes the fuel evenly and gives you a neat percentage of fuel left on all ships in a TG.


The fuel situation (Ctrl + F12) also gives you a good overview in that exact format:

"Current Fuel: 5,300,383 / 10,000,000"

Including displaying the range with current fuel.

The numbers in that fuel display are correct for the amount of fuel but the distance the ship can still move is totally out to lunch.

Thanks Steve that will be useful.  Can you please consider looking at a err properly working "remaining range" somewhere.  I would love to know how many kms my ships can still go without resorting to mental math (the math is quick finding out how many kilometers the ship is designed for is often the long point).
