Ive been thinking about supply - early on anyway what about ships that carry supplies (can be done now with ships with engines and only supply modules - but you need to fleet them to have effect)

But an idea from conquest frontier wars that could be adapted to this game. - supply ships that start out with say 10k or 20k of supplies and can be attached to ships and when they run out of supplies they simply vanish from the fleet (ie usefulness over and they can be decommisioned and perhaps used as scrap metal etc) this would perhaps allow colony ships to be fleeted then sent as far as you can send them to settle frontier worlds

Perhaps if jump gates are built in as a strategic way to traverse large distances in big map games that supply ships could be put in that way

Support ships i guess.

Ok just ideas brainstorming as you were.
