Supply Ships

I remember seeing this topic some time ago, but can't seem to find it on a search. My question is, how are supplies divided when a fleet splits? If I have a ship running low on supplies, and it joins with a ship that has many supplies, when they part how many supplies does each ship have?

As evenly as possible. Ships with smaller supplies can get fully refueled if a ship with a much larger amount of supplies joins a fleet.

It would be nice if you could transfer supply as you can cargo............... and if you can do this then I have missed a huge time saver.

If you build a "Supply Ship" you can not use a Transport to do it if you fill up say a Battle Ship fill it with Supply mods and you good to go...If you Fleet with 1 ship they will go 50/50 the more then it goes down.

Actually, you can. Just add a Cargo Storage ability to supply pods with a value of 0. It will be counted as cargo.
