Fighter groups not sharing supply equally

Seems really strange to me. You launch a fighter group into space for a jaunt across the solar system and while they travel in the system view, they all effectively have the same supplies (unlike a newly formed fleet) which is logical. And even if some are damaged to the point of no combat movement, nevertheless the group has the full movement of the undamaged members.. not so logical.

But somehow, just before combat, they dock in space with each other and trade fuel to maximize it for as many as poaaible. That's effectively what the behavior amounts to in this play universe. So the empty ones are then helpless and useless.

So there really seems an inconsistency here, that could be resolved by allowing F. groups to be treated like mini-single-task-force fleets. Possibly allow group members to be added or removed ( major change, but no sub- task forces ) but for now, at least keep the fuel ( supplies ) shared equally within a group between battles. Logically, even in this play universe, 'Just before a battle' is not a time for fighters already deployed to be transferring fuel, but can be done 'after a battle' as needed to make sure everyone has enough fuel to get home.

From what I've noticed, some people have posted to the forum because of confusion about lack of unit movement and such, and a lot of that is likely due to the current unit group supply sharing rules.

addition:
Having said all that, I should also note, hopefully not pedantically, that the small weapons I've seen so far use no supply at all, while some use 1 ordinance, at least in the balance mod game which I'm currently playing. So during combat, especially if fighters use no supply it makes no sense at all to starve some while max'ing others.
