Can't really play the game w/ fleet bug...

[Dizzy]

When is the fleet/ordinance interaction of stealing/losing your supplies gonna be fixed? I cant really play the game w/o fleets.

Is there a known work around? I'm not aware of too many other bugs that are game killers, but this one is preventing me from playing.

You can move muliple ships at once by selecting them all in the sector view. Only works well if they're all the same speed, though.

I have not noticed it while using the world famous balance mod.

[RonGianti]

you can, as Phoenix said, just move the ships together. Select them all, tell them to move. I've been doing this for weeks.

Or, you could design ships that don't use ordinance. There are many of them.

This is what I was doing, but it "seemed" (note: subjective) that when I did this, the units moved slower and there was a little more lag than usual. Maybe excessive pathfinding. :?

Patch 1.09 is out? And it fixed fleet ordinance loss issues?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[DarkHorse]

Not out yet, Aaron likes to release patches in bunches. The first patch included versions 1.01-1.08, for example. At least we know it's on the way.

I've also noticed that my fleets won't reordinance themselves even when they spend a few turns at a planet with several resupply depots on it. You have to take them out of the fleet, wait a turn, and then they will have ordinance.

[Raapys]

You don't need to be at a planet to resupply your ships/fleets. Resupply is now a 'System Modifier'. With the Balance mod each resupply depot gives out up to 1,000 supplies total throughout the system each turn, distributed as set in the 'Resupply priorities' setting in the Empire Options.

[javaslinger]

Are you sure? My ships are definately not being resupplied just being in system. I think you must still go to a planet with a resupply depot. Unless you have some advanced tech which can accomplish this....

Note that it's a 1000 supplies total not to each ship. If you had 20 ships, that'd be only 50 supplies each.

[Raapys]

Like Kwok says. It really confused me the first game too; I was sure it was 500( 1000 with Balance mod) for each ship each turn, so I thought I wasn't getting supplies at all. Turned out I actually was getting supplies, but spread out on all my ships it was hardly noticable.
