As far as I know, supplies ARE redistributed. Have you tried not moving the fleet for one turn? I had a raiding stealth cruiser that had totally run out of supplies, and moved a brand new stealth battlecruiser to the CA's sector and formed a fleet. It's a good thing that I did, b/c they were attacked by 4 battlecruisers immediately after (I forgot to turn their stealth armor on). When I went into tactical combat, each of them had 1340 supplies, so they SHOULD be distributed throughout the fleet.

BTW, they totally reamed the Krill Dominion's 4 BCs, and took no internal damage in the process. Plasma missiles and shield depleters can't stand up to the might of Type IV and V phased polaron beams

Plasma Torpedos's and sheild depleters?

Why would you combine a stand-off seeker with a relatively short range direct fire weapon?

I either build long range snipers (missiles or torpedos and Point defense) or beam mallers (Poleron Beams or Wave Motion Guns and Sheild depleters).

Supplies are distributed within a fleet at the end of a turn, but it's isn't quite even...

I suspect that if you were to fleet togteher a tanker with 2000 fuel (6000 max) and a ship with 0/2000 (empty, with 2000 max), it wouldn't completely fill up the empty ship. I think instead, you'd end up with soemthing like 1500/6000 on the transport and 500/2000 on the other ship.

I'd like to see a supply transfer button similar to the cargo transfer one, so that we could manage this better.

I also think it would be cool to have a "resupply bay" that would work like the resupply depot, but could be built in ships. It would instantly dispense supplies to all ships that entered its sector (rather than at the end of the turn to only ships in its fleet). And the supplies it dispensed would deplete the supply ship's own stock unless it had enless supplies like a base or ship with a quantum reactor.
