I'm surprised there isn't more replies about this. I just spent 20 mil food just moving empty transporters 160 miles. It seems to happen to me every single time I move anything around now.

If this is actually working as intended, I propose they change the way it works at least on the super servers. I am right now only dealing with 200 mile movements but we have plenty of enemies 500+ miles away I don't think it's reasonable to be spending hundreds of mil in food just to move an army around.
