derb, Yes it would be nice to have code added to take care of this. I have seen the AI repeatedly send its own ships out till they run out of supply.
At the moment it is one of the advantages Humans have over AI. A human can generaly choose a planet that is near the AI path between two warp points. Sometimes it is possible to put the Resupply directly in the path of the AIs chosen route.
Yes it can be a pain but it does get easyier with experiance.
I would suggest take time out and do some test to see how far the various engine sets get you. Hmm, Infact, I think I'll do just that and post it at my web site. I'll let you know.
