depends, what are the ships that are homebased to it?
Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

Are these fighters homebased to it ? If so, with trade command MK1/2 use buy ware and set repeat number.

If its your own station, freight drones can fill up your TL in one hit, using transfer freight via freight drones command. (each drone = 800 cargo)

or by automatically do you mean something that works in the background checking on the status of your TL and refueling as necessay?

Falcon has about 350 cargo? this is not an efficient way, but you can do it with CLS2 (you need the bonus pack)

your best way is to order a TS with CLS2 to buy energy at a specific SPP, and unload it to you (don't forget the transporter device), if you homebase the TS at that SPP, it will be a faster procedure, too.

That is a guide how to supply your TLs automatically. I also use this for my other capital ships, but I do those in-system only to avoid having my Drakes die in a warzone.

Works great, and my micromanagement after jumping around has really gone down to very little. You can automate most resupply functions with CLS2.

No need to homebasy anything to it
CLS2 ship preferably TS that can use jumpdrive (rank: Cargo Messenger)

Waypoints

1. Station that sells energy
Refuel jump fuel
Buy energy max cargo (load energy if it is your station)

2. Your TL
Unload up to 2500 energy cells

3. Your TL2
Unload up to 2500 energy cells

Set supply condition to minimum transfer amount on delivery 50% (when your TL has 50% of his jumpfuel the TS will jump to it and refuel)

Send TL to SPP position, falcon buy ware = 10 repeats, SETA for 10 seconds, TL refuelled with 3500 ecells. Done.
