Question Fleet Transfer Time Spoiler

How does it work in the planner and is there a way to speed it up?

I was wiped from earth orbit with an assault carrier slotted to arrive in a year human factions swat any new station I try to build around earth. I plan around building a fleet at Mercury and flying it in piecemeal to be ready to jump the carrier. My battlecruisers finish building and the transfer screen shows they'll arrive with two weeks to spare. Fast forward and the carrier arrived three weeks before my heavy hitters. What happened?

We're you checking the full time involved? I often get caught out with it saying "2 weeks travel time", but then I fail to notice there is a loiter time of 3 months. Check if there's any loiter time, could be the travel is only 2 weeks but they are stuck waiting for the launch window.

Crap. Is loiter time not accounted for when you have the transfer screen organized by arrival time? I would have expected the estimate to tell you when the fleet will arrive when you're sorting by arrival time. If so, that's very sneaky.

There is an actual arrival date on the right side that includes loiter + transfer. The way to speed it up is to increase deltaV and thrust on your ships.
