Either before or after doing what Mako said, click the Repeat Orders button.

So it would be something like:

(Repeat Orders)
Load Cargo Fighters at Sol II
Drop Cargo Fighters at Capella IV

Make sure you have lots of cargo space at the destination (a forward base where your fleet is). I've used medium transports as auxilliary carriers and they can hold several hundred fighters. You'll be hard-pressed to drop them all on a planet without cargo facilities (well, assuming it's domed).

Thanks guys ...

Will try your tips. BTW, is it possible that ships "lose" their orders ? I dont mean the order snafu from the intelligence.

Have you tried sending a space yard ship along with them and having it build new fighters in the field? I'm not sure if it will deposit them directly into the ships, but I believe that they can. If it works I'll have to try it myself.

Kewl. I normally send ships with repair facilities with my strike forces, but I'll have to experiment with ship yards instead. It should make my carriers more effective as I too run out of fighters for them.

Seawolf:

Top of the left column (Not the left-hand navigation) is the heading "High Score Contests." One is a link to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and the other, with a B/W image of a Phrong Drednaught is a link that goes here: http://www.twingalaxies.com/cgi-perl...hampionship.pl

And it's labled "Space Empires IV World Championship"
