Default Re: can waypoints from construction sites be automated?

Hmm, I was afraid of that. As for the minefield thing, that's too much trouble, especially since I couldn't be sure the ships would go the right way. And since I play very large galaxies, the logistics of this boggle the mind.

I'll have to stick to having intermediate waypoints. My problem is once the fleets get very large and I'm controlling dozens of planets, I often forget which ships I meant to send where and or forget to reroute ships and discover small fleets of ships sitting unassigned at rear-area bases.

You may be able to find a planet on the path that you can build a resupply faciliity.

There is also a little thing you can do with specifying minefields to get ships to reroute so they pass over a resupply planet. Although this only works to a point. You can't get them to go way out of their normal path. Only a square or two if the alignment is right.
