In DW, ship refueling is too much of hassle. To alleviate this problem; please consider the following simple solution:

1- Allow any ship with a docking bay and ample fuel storage to share its fuel with other ships in the fleet. It is a really simple idea from Stars!, SoTS, and many other 4x games.


The current system doesn't make sense. If one needs to fight a long distance war; then the player has to redesign his entire fleet (every ship) with more fuel cells. If the player doesn't do that; then even if his ships arrive at their destination after long time; They will be unable to even fire bc they have no fuel to generate any energy for the weapons. In other words, this fleet is totally useless.

Supply ships are fine:
Deploy them at a Caslon/Hydrogen planet at the start of the game, to load them with fuel.

When you need them, deploy the supply ship to any planet near the target system as your supply base.

How do you know how much fuel they are carrying? Also can you double mine a resource?

With the Supply ship selected, double click on the bottom left panel, and look at the Cargo panel.

Yes they work like a mobile gas extractor.
