Supply Ships

I'm not sure how to call supply ships to get myself resupplied. Are there circumstances where you cannot be supplied.

Also how can I tell where supply ships are on the map when they are too far away to see on the radar? I always get lost.

good question. if i remember right there is even a patrol mission where you have to resuply your ship to win. but i never figured it out either so i am no help to you. that is something i have wondered about though.

if you call for suppplies you will get a text confirmation that X### is on the way, then just hold your position. till it arrives and sails near you.

Remember that they'll only come if you really need supplies/fuel/repairs

The mission where you have to resupply your ship, you just have to sail up and lay next to it. you have to get in pretty close to get the text confirmation that resuppling is in progress.
