Title: So my ship ran out of supplies in space... how do I resupply it now?
Post by: DoubleShuang on March 04, 2013, 10:10:33 AM

It's early game. . .  I don't have any supply ships.   Can I send a survey ship or something to deliver some maintenance supplies?  How do I do that?

Send a ship, join them up in a fleet, share supplies.  Or transfer manually.

I'd recommend a dedicated supplyl ship, one with a lot of supply capacity.

please note that if you have an important broken component (such as your engine) it might be difficult to fix, as repairs to destroyed components cost 2x what they cost to 'maintain'.  so it's possible for your ship to be unfixable. in which case you either need to tractor it, have a carrier scoop it up, or abandon it.

OK, but how do you actually "send a ship"?  I'm assuming if a ship is broken down, it is in space, in between two destinations.

Ex.   Earth to Mars:  You can send a ship to Earth or to Mars, but if the ship broke down in transit, what do you do?

Tick the 'Task Groups' checkbox at the top of the Task Group Orders tab.
