I don't see a fighter supply/ordnance fix for launched fighters in v1.74

...?

If you are talking about the stock game, it is easy.

Even a level 1 light carrier can handle 50 large fighters with little trouble.
With max fighter tech, it can do so using just its required minimum of 15 fighter bays.

Check the design, it'll have the capacity for it, do rememver it *is* a carrier.

From 1.73 changelog:
4. Fixed - When units are recovered from space, they also transfer with their percentage of supply and ordnance from the group (they used to transfer with their maximum supply and ordnance amount possibly leaving
the remaining group with insufficent supply and ordnance).

But this fix seems to have introduced another bug:

This bug is even more severe than that. I had a carrier get involved in multiple battles in one turn, where it launched its fighters and recovered them for each battle; the battles were pretty short and mostly the fighters didn't even see action.

But not only was the carrier out of supply at the end of the turn, its solar panels didn't seem to give it any. I brought in a fleet from nearby and started transferring supplies to the carrier, but it stayed at "zero" supplies after I'd dumped more than its capacity on it.

Eventually I hypothesized that the carrier's current supply number had gone way negative and was just displaying as zero. I parked on a resource depot for a few turns and ignored it, and eventually it was back to full.

But this is a severe bug that makes fighters completely useless.

Damn... This game is a paper weight till this gets fixed... That is pretty bad... Is it confirmed? When's the next patch?

I have no idea whether or not it is the same bug but it just happened to me that all my fighters in one of groups lost all supplies and ordnance without a reason. One turn I had a group of fighters that comprised 3 squadrons of 10 fighters each and were almost fully supplied blockading a warp point. The next turn I could see in the combat replay they began the combat with 0 supplies and ordnace. It was their only fight, there was no event or sabotage that would depleted their tanks. It is PBW 1.74 BM1.14b game. It happened to me for the first time though a turn earlier I noticed that two groups of my fighters that had more than one fight lost enormous amounts of supplies. This earlier event was under 1.71 and the turn was executed by the game host. Any ideas what is happening?
