this http://supremacy.square7.ch/wiki/index. ... t_of_Ships is quite clear to me

...and as long i'm inside my own territory I think my ships have full support. But what about getting outside and when do I strand....therefore some nice and clear description would be fine (Thanks).

is the info screen (here at (6) http://supremacy.square7.ch/wiki/index. ... Deployment the only way to get info about
- Full Reserves / Capacity
- all the other info
(expanding the tooltip at task forces column would be nice)

If I understand this thread correctly, you're asking questions about ships, correct? To update the wiki?

Range and Fuel are 2 overlapping ship stats that we'll need to address sometime. Right now, you can go 1 sector beyond your Range (because Fuel cannot just be set to zero) - that will get your ships Stranded, because they'll be out of refueling range. But that should be a temporary situation.
Ships can also get stranded if a station is destroyed or a colony lost, and the ships were inside refueling range only because of them.

Fuel reserves/capacity can also be checked in the "system" panel when a ship is selected in the Task Forces panel, by hovering the mouse over the Fuel yellow bar. There are bars for Shields and Hull too.
Ship stats can also be checked in the Encyclopedia and the Shipbuilding screen (and even in the System Assault screen, but that's only available during assaults of course).


The manual is kind of outdated BTW.

If I recall correctly Mike S. had ships moving on limited fuel reserves outside the yellow fuel limit line for a bit before getting stranded. He cut this back to just one space to get stranded when he started to work on more features in ship movement. He did not finished the code for this and left it at the temporary one space limit we see now.

One thing he wanted to do was let you tow a stranded ship back.

Thanks, Iceman...now i have it...working on it at the weekend

well, it's my task to update WIKI-manual's content a little bit
