Status: offline 		I bought this game and don't have the manual with it. The game is great but my god do I no clue on how to many things.

Can somebody give me a complete breakdown on how to reload the ammo on ships. I can't engage any enemy ships because my ships keep running.

This is what I've tried so far.
I send a ship to a port to replenish and hit replenish from port and it doesn't seem to load the ammo. I make sure that the base has supply points and is large enough to dock the ship which should allow it to reload the ammo. I can't even reload destroyers. Any detailed help would be great at this point.

Thanks

The manual should be in pdf form in a folder in your game folder entitled "Manuals"

It will happen automatically if the ship is in the right size port or has a replenishment ship of the right class. Manual has good info on this. Depends on gun size.

Status: offline 		That manual you didn't think you had that came in the form of a PDF file rather than a hard copy printed book has a table in the appendices that lists every ship board weapon and the size port required to rearm them.

Naval support added to a port reduces the size port necessary for reaming and the table outlines varying amounts of naval support necessary in increasing increments for reducing the port size needed for each weapon.

Ship Types AE and AKE loaded with supplies and disbanded into the port also make it possible to rearm weapons that the port could not normally rearm. There are also a multitude of lesser support ship types that can rearm and even repair varying types af smaller ships. There is also a table in the appendices that lists what types of smaller carft can be resupplied by those smaller support ships.

Various different classes of xAK can be converted to AKEs since there are not many of them and even fewer AEs. I don't know of any list of which classes of xAKs can be converted. You just have to spend some time examining your plethora of xAKs to see which can be converted. This is one of the many tasks that cause the first turn to be dreaded by players because there are sooooo many things to be done that it seems to take forever to get that first turn done and the game under way. The xAKs can also be converted to many other types such as xAPs and AGs.

Here is a view that I would like to get in to another patch.
It shows the ammo level as green if it can be reloaded in the port. This is just a port rearm level check without any other considerations as ammo ships, etc.

You two guys should be very proud of what you have accomplished already. Great to see you still have the zeal to somehow make it just a little better. THANK YOU.

geofflambert -

I believe that the answer is yes. Ops points limit the amount of activity - just as in refueling.
