Starbases

[DiggyDad]

I'm sure this has been asked before but at the risk of being redundant, I have a question. Is there any way to get my starbases/monitoring stations to get some supply? The AI doesn't seem to want to bring them anything and they have been there for a while, more than a year. I would prefer to build monitoring stations outside of a system where ECLs wouldn't be effective, but the AI never brings them anything so their shields go down rendering them defenseless.

Diggydad, I'm not sure. I don't know of a way, personally. I really think its a bug because it should happen automatically. The PRIVATE sector, just because theres a base there, should fuel it.

It can take a long time. I have no idea how the AI decides what to fuel when. But it sucks when a base runs out of fuel and it takes forever to get it supplied. I'd say give it a checkbox to let is receive attention, but lately there's been a lot of check box suggestions. [:)]

then i hereby propose a right click menu option for "request immediate refuelling" [;)]

btw i usually refit some explorers with sensor arrays, give them a lot of fuel capacity and some shields and as soon as some enemy shows up i just warp away
can stay there for quite some time and refuelling is easily done at neutral planets nearby
other pro: if the front advances, so do I
and if the tech advances I just refit

edit: and of course i dont need one of those slow constructors so they can continue building mines etc

Locarnus, the Wishlist thread is ------> way. Heh, I would love that improvement, however. Now, I just tend to forget about it - the life of a Galactic Emperor is above such petty details.

Yep, but never really needed it do to the mobile sensors approach. [;)]
Hm, but now that i think about it, would also be nice for the resupply ship, so that can be relatively stationary in empty space.

There should be a tab so we can check it off to let the AI private sector know this is a priority to be resuplied and refueled.

That would be a nice feature, it could perhaps cost a bit more for the fuel, like 20% or so. Just to simulate government subsidies.

your wish has apparently been granted for 1.0.5!

Sorry, but where does it say that? [&:]
