The Logistics dialog displays how much of each cargo type, [[Crew member|crew]] type, and [[Civilian|passenger]] is carried on each [[ship]] in the [[fleet]]. The dialog also ~~provides controls~~ to transfer these between ships.

The Logistics dialog displays how much of each cargo type, [[Crew member|crew]] type, and [[Civilian|passenger]]s are carried on each [[ship]] in the [[fleet]]. The dialog is also a control to transfer these between ships.

Transfers can occur between docked ships. Additionally, [[Logistics Drone|drones]] can transfer cargo (including themselves) if both ships have a [[Drone Bay|drone bay]] and the source ship has a drone. There is a limit to how far apart ships can be for this.

==Scheduling Transfers==

#Select the ship you want to transfer ''from'', which will highlight the column green.

#Find the row for the item you want to transfer. Left-click where it intersects the column of the destination ship to schedule one item for transfer. Right-click to un-schedule a transfer.

You can schedule more transfers than you have items, and the crew/drones will continue transferring items as they become available.

==Achieving Transfers==

*Crew will transfer cargo between docked ships, and crew or passengers being transferred will walk across.

*[[Logistics Drone|Drones]] will transfer cargo if both ships have a [[Drone Bay|drone bay]] and the source ship has a drone to perform the transfer. If a drone itself is transferred, it will fly to the destination ship. Crew and passengers cannot be transferred by drone.
