Re: Fleet supply system

I dislike the idea of micromanaging the fleet logistics too. It doesn't seem an attack several systems/bases away gets resupply the same as an attack one system/base away. It should but it should also cost more. Maybe I missed that part somewhere.

Re: Fleet supply system

So my thoughts if you are considering using supply ships (AOE) are as follows. A Battle group (BG) would need three types of aux. ships to resupply.
