Re: Fighter Refueling?

[Ah Clem <ahclem@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my fighters to land in vector.  I 
figured out that the carrier had to have no movement orders (not even 
rotation).  But since the fighters move in a cinematic fashion even 
in a vector game they have to keep chasing the carrier.  It keeps 
showing them as "returning to CV La Foudre-Greve" or "in 
transit".  They never seem to actually land on the carrier.
