Supplies.

How do supplies for fighters work now? If your fighters are getting low on supplies, can you refuel them by landing them onto carriers or a planet and then relaunching them? If so, does it deplete the supplies of the carrier?

Also, what happens when you fleet your fighters with your ships? I seem to recall that the supplies of ships and fighters are not shared when they are fleeted together.

Fighters in cargo have no supply value. When you pick them up, then relaunch them, they will be filled with supplies and not take any from the carrier or anywhere else.

Fighters and ships can not share supplies. I think that the bug where fighters placed into a fleet would cause all ships in that fleet to drop to 0 supplies was fixed in 1.91.

How do supplies work in regards to mining ships. I have a lot of mining ships and they still seem to be taking resources from asteroids, but I notice they have no supplies and the components use supplies.

You do not need any supply to do remote-mining, but your ships will travel at a nice speed of 1 afterwards. But I don't suppose you will need them to travel until a very long time, and a base would likely replace them before their mining location is depleted.

Since the miners deplete the reources, If I have a surplus I remove them so that I am not wasting resources. Since I only need to move them off, or on, a movement of 1 is fine. Is the depletion rate 1% each turn or is it more If I have miners with a lot of high level components?.
