Sentinel of Agamar, a frigate added to the DF Urd Mantill defensive fleet by a topup operation, is far away from the fleet, but on its way toward it. Of course, it didn't fill up with fuel before starting the long trip. :evil: There's a fuel source near the ship's current position, where it could go and fill its tanks to the brim. But it doesn't. :evil:

The nearby fuel source is at the Faliin 5 mining station. As attested by the ship's Refuel and Repair button:

Here's a zoomed-in view of the ship and Faliin:

Please fix this problem. It should be doable, since the game knows that the ship could go there to refuel.

Why doesn’t the automated ship use that information?
