Rendezvousing Fleets

More about Fleets

Playing Stars!

It's useful to specify one fleet as a destination for another if you are transferring cargo between fleets (for example, between a remote miner and a freighter), merging fleets, or chasing an opponent's fleet.

To rendezvous one fleet with another, just select the current position of the destination fleet as the waypoint for the fleet that wishes to intercept it. As long as the destination fleet can be detected by the pursuing fleet's scanner, this fleet will follow the destination fleet until it overtakes it or runs out of fuel. If the fleet in pursuit loses sight of the destination fleet, it travels to the destination fleet's last known position.

How to Pick a Fleet Out From a Crowd

When two or more fleets are at the same location or close together, and you want to send another fleet to meet with one of them, do one of the following:

⇒        If the fleets are close together, zoom in using the plus (+) key until you ca see everything clearly. Then set the waypoint on the fleet you wish to rendezvous with. Press the minus (-) key to zoom out.

⇒        If two fleets are in the same location and you wish to target one specifically, or target an opponent's fleet in orbit, click on the blue diamond in the Fleet Waypoint tile, then select the destination fleet from the popup list.

⇒        If the goal is to refuel the destination fleet or join with the destination fleet then you can use the Merge with Fleet waypoint task. This task requires that you specify the destination fleet as the waypoint.
