Another good thing to do is make sure you put several cargo containers on your space yard ships and the resupply station- that way the space yard ship can sit around the resupply station and build replacement fighters, mines, weapon platforms and troops. Your attack fleet can not only refuel but also get replacement units without heading to a colony.

All my ship yard ships end up always carrying replacement units. At the end of each move - I always clear my fleet orders - so that the fleet isnt committed. When I clear the order the shipyard build units, as one turns worth. On my next turn, those units are in the cargo containers and I move my fleet to its next waypoint.
