 Drop tanks, lots and lots of drop tanks :-)

 In fleet ops those should be
 readily available, akin to those used to allow P-51’s to
 escort bombers all the way to the target and back.

 In detached mode, the thing

Yes, in my mind I always imagined an IN Auxiliary that provided logistics support incl not only prepositioned stocks but also J6 'DropTank Tenders' to support ops like 'void jumps'. (first mentioned AFAIK in the CT LBB Adventure 'Twilight's Peak' which referred to such an op during the 3rdFW)
