Help with auxillery ship not activating trade offers

[thomasbkdk]

I need a bit of assistance to understand this and perhaps even remedy it. Game version 7.10

I have a auxillery ship, that when attached to a fleet lead by a Guppy carrier that is doing point defence, works as intended and activates its trading orders to resupply its wares.

However, when the same aux ship is attached to a fleet lead by a sapporo that is doing 'protect position', the aux ship does not activate its trading orders to get supplies.
Why? i really dont understand it.

Both the guppy and sapporo seems to have similar settings for resupply and so on.

Bonus question, why does the aux ship deactivate trading orders if it is given a 'fly and wait' order?
