How do I use special items while in a fleet?

I'm trying to move a group of ships in a fleet, but I can't figure out how to activate their +1 movement point "One use" item + they are cloaked and I want to use my resupply pod.

If I drop them from the fleet I can, but I want them to move at the slower ships speed, thus staying in the fleet.

Can I use a one use item in a fleet? or am I missing where to do it?

I think that to do that they might all have to have the special ability?

Even then you probably need to activate them on each ship individually.

Also, many components can't be used while cloaked.

Makes sense. It would be like something invisible making really loud noises. Smiling

Heh soundwaves in space. But seriously it gets on my nerves sometimes like to upgrade a fleet and having to disband the fleet to do so or 1 by 1.

You seek to select an individual ship while in a fleet. Ship List maybe?

You really must want an answer if you posted two threads.
