X3TC Resupplying Tomahawks?

[Andrimner]

Hello!

I've been trying to set up a Magnetar to supply Gladiators with Tomahawk Missiles. But when I select "Missile", Tomahawk isn't listed as an option. Why is that, and is there another way to set up a supply system with Tomahawks?

Edit: Immediately after posting this message, I stumbled upon the "Automatic Missile Resupply" command, but this means that the Gladiator will travel around to look for missile production sites on it's own, does it not?

The resupply command has a range limit, it can only find wares a few jumps from the supply ship. Move it closer to an area selling Tomahawks.

Does that mean that it has to be in range of a production facility that currently has Tomahawks in stock? Because the Gladiator was in Cloudbase SE (where there is a Tomahawk factory), and the Magnetar was in Split Fire - 3 jumps away.

Yes, the Magnetar has to find a place selling the missiles (factories first).
The Gladiator does not count towards this.

CLS2 (External) is the best way to do this. Simply set the Magnetar to dock at several stations that buy Tomahawks and have it buy them all. Then have them delivered to the Gladiator.

The reason there isn't a Tomahawk option under the missile resupply is that the Magnetar can't use them.

I do not think so.
I tried the supply command with various ships, and it is not affected at all by weapon compatibility.

The problem turned out to be 0 Tomahawks in stock at the factory. As soon as the factory had some in stock, Tomahawks popped up in the Magnetars menu - so now everything's working just fine! Thanks for all the help!

Sorry, I thought he was using the automatic missile resupply system.
