Figured out a work around for the fueling issue...just tried it out an hour ago and it worked like a charm...
Find out what route your fleet is going to take and pre-position a "Supply Flotilla" at the last stop and re-fuel there before you go in, once you have the upper hand, bring in the Supply Flotilla to some planet/moon close by and by the time the combat is done the SF is there....both the Battle Fleet and Supply Flotilla were on manual control.
My Supply Flotilla consisted of 3 Tankers and 1 escort(very quiet sys. 8-)

One thing I should add, I had to manually grab one of the tankers and run around fueling the ships.
Would be nice if the Tankers had a command to "Fuel all ships/Fleet nearby". Maybe have the Fleet name as one of the options.

I'm guessing 75% of players haven't looked at the policy settings much less changed them. Imagine the fun they've been having.

Always a win when you figure out how to outwit the game into doing something you want. That AI core running the DW2 automation is based on GLadOS.
