I’ve just activated the policy for automated refueling of manual fleets. And the chosen refueling point chosen by the game for my Shuttle 04 fleet, is its destination (the Libiya system). The problem with this is twofold:
  • The fleet will very likely be out of fuel before it reaches its destination (see screenshot).
  • There’s a refueling point very close to the fleet’s path, in the Turvec system, way before its destination, with plenty of caslon to fill the fleet’s tanks, and would ensure that the fleet wouldn’t lack fuel before reaching its destination.

Even if a stop to the Turvec system would necessitate a reevaluation of the fleet’s path and an additional hyperjump, it’s certainly better than the fleet’s going at a third of its normal speed for non negligible part of its travel.
