Can I automatically re-equip or upgrade equipment on fleets and units on planets?
Yes and no. The options screen (Esc) allows you to re-equip tanks to planets, and bombs and missiles to spacecraft. This assumes you have excess stocks of such items available. You cannot automatically replace lost equipment on ships, nor can you automatically upgrade equipment. This can make upgrading ships very time consuming. Bershe comments: “Here’s a trick – if you have 10+ ships of any type in a fleet, they are categorized together… So, select the category, select the (for example) laser pod. Hit the ‘+’ button to fully load the ship, then push enter. And repeat until fleet is outfitted.
