Auto-Convoy system status?

[larryfulkerson]

So um......hey you guys.....I'm still learning how to use the Auto-convoy system and I've heard conflicting stories about
whether or not it works right. Anybody know for sure? Anybody use it?

[Trugrit]

It works, but you have to be careful, it will send ships into harms way.

I don't use it, I use CS. I think most players use CS.

I too use CS..It allows you to designate ONE ship to maintain ONE location, (or as many ships as you wish.)

Also allows the pathing of waypoints both coming and going to route around threats.

Same as above, although must admit I've never used it since PacWar days.

Sorry, but what is CS? Connecticut Sam?

Continuous Supply

I believe that reading the manual may help you.

6.2.11 ROUTINE CONVOYS AND COMPUTER-CONTROLLED TF’S

Task Forces with a Sub Patrol or Transport Mission can be placed on computer control.
A Transport Mission that has a destination set can be set to computer control. If this occurs the TF will load its specified materials and move to the Destination Hex selected. At that point it will automatically unload everything and then return to its home port to reload and begin the procedure again. In this manner, the TF will enter ’Continuous Supply’ mode and will continue to transport the specified materials until told to do otherwise by the player. TFs in a Continuous Supply mode will be set to Retirement Allowed, which cannot be changed. Continuous Supply Task Forces will transport whatever cargo is specified before the TF is set to Continuous Supply. If no specification is made, cargo will default to supply/fuel. Depending on destination and home port, the TF may load resources or oil for the return trip. The TF Information Screen will display this order as
CS: Base Name where it would normally display Computer Controlled.
In this way you can set up a convoy that will continue to repeat to a specific location.

Ah, thanks. I did read that then forgot about it. My brain does not want to cooperate with me lately.

Does it work well for off map such as UK to Capetown?
