Fuel Transfer can be used as an order in a Convoy Route.
The Fuel Transfer order is used to transfer fuel from one fleet to another in deep space. Fuel transfer fittings are standard on all Fuel Tanks and no additional special equipment is required to execute a fuel transfer.
Note: If you use the keyword “SPLIT” in place of a fuel quantity then the two Fleets involved will combine their available fuel stockpiles and redistribute it on a proportional basis (i.e. If you sum the total fuel tankage available to both fleets, a fleet with 60% of the total fuel tankage would received 60% of the total available fuel stockpiles if a “SPLIT” option is used).
Requires no Action Pt. for either Fleet involved.
FUEL, Fleet # From, Fleet # To, Fuel Quantity
Fleet # From: The Fleet ID # that is transferring fuel.
Fleet # To: The Fleet ID # that is receiving fuel.
Fuel Quantity: The quantity of fuel to be transferred. If you transfer more fuel than is available or more than the receiving fuel can handle, the quantity is adjusted accordingly. Optional: If you use the keyword “SPLIT” in plac eof fuel quantity then the two Fleets involved will combine their available fuel stockpiles and distribute it on a proportional basis.
FUEL, 10, 18, 25000
Fleet # 10 will attempt to transfer a total of 25,000 fuel to Fleet # 18.
FUEL, 10, 18, SPLIT
Fleet # 10 and Fleet # 18 will combine their available fuel stockpiles then redistribute them on a proportional basis (i.e. If Fleet # 10 has 90,000 fuel tankage and 20,000 fuel and Fleet # 18 has 10,000 fuel tankage and 10,000 fuel then Fleet # 10 would end up with 27,000 fuel (90% of that available) and Fleet # 18 would end up with 3,000 fuel (10% of that available).)
