When you sent your Transports Doug. Make sure you send them on an 'Attacking' mission. Then don't load them with any resources. That'll make sure you don't send any of your stuff out there and that your ships come back with stuff for you.

I built 2 light fighters and 2 missile launchers now. So that fucker with the 1 cargo & 1 light fighter better not try anything again! lol. Gotta save to upgrade my solar plant so I Can level up my mines.
