Formation flying doesn't get the ships close enough to let you trade fuel. It isn't like rendezvousing (if that's a word) with a KC-135 (or whatever they're using these days). Not that the real thing is easy ... "up one, back two" ... in fact, now that I think about it, on-line refueling is a lot less dangerous.

It should get you inside the 1 click range I think... but however, you can at least let if set you in formation and then accelerate a bit to close in and refuel. If the other ship is in inertial it will be probably going straight so when you're matched you should have no problem doing the refuel.

After the first shot, the ship can halt and all will be a leisure.

Denny, the problem isn't in refuelling itself, it's the amount of fuel that is being transferred - 20 units instead of 30. Where's the missing 10 units going?

That is very much a problem. For every 30 units of fuel he sent to me I was only getting 20. We both checked to make sure that our fuel pod trading was set to 30.
Seems like a bug to me. I hope that Vice is following this thread.

Sure sounds like it...

Yup, I know, but since I don't know anything about the main problem, we where discussing the side problem.

I suggest sending a PM to Vice with a link to this topic or just wait until after the holidays.

I've been following the thread and have been working on it for the next update.

Happy New Year, Vice.

I say this now in case I get caught in the snow trying to drive over Donner Pass, named for the group of people who never made it and ended up eating all their horses (what they told us in the 4th grade) and each other (what they never told us until I looked it up in Wikipedia ... well, that part about Wikipedia isn't true ... I just threw it in 'cause I don't remember where I read or heard about the Donner Party eating each other).

It's true. They did end up resorting to canibalism, but only ate the dead.
Later on some of the rescued could not live with themselves and committed suicide.
It really happened and has been etched into the annuals of history.

I would hope that goes without saying.
