As evenly as possible. Ships with smaller supplies can get fully refueled if a ship with a much larger amount of supplies joins a fleet.

It would be nice if you could transfer supply as you can cargo............... and if you can do this then I have missed a huge time saver.

If you build a "Supply Ship" you can not use a Transport to do it if you fill up say a Battle Ship fill it with Supply mods and you good to go...If you Fleet with 1 ship they will go 50/50 the more then it goes down.

Actually, you can. Just add a Cargo Storage ability to supply pods with a value of 0. It will be counted as cargo.

I was doing it W/O editing anything, but that will work also

Or, you could bring a space yard ship along with the fleet. When the fleet is running low on supplies, park it somewhere and build a space station with nothing but the crew stuff. When it is built, put it in the fleet and on the next turn, all supplies will be replenished. Then, you can scrap the station and be on your way. You lose 2 turns doing this, but it would probably take a lot longer to go all the way back to a resupply base. Gotta love the built-in quantum reactors that space stations have!
