Bases can then resupply ships. That is why it was disabled in the Last patch.

But it's not automatic. Say you add a ship to a fleet that is low on supplies, and the ship is carrying a lot of supplies. The new ship's supplies will be put into the supply pool. however, is you remove that supply ship the same turn, it takes all of it's original supplies with it. It has to be a part of the fleet at the begining of the turn to get the "equal split". I suspect the rule would apply to stations if you made that change. So, considering the station has unlimited supplies, I see no reason why one shouldn't be able to re-supply a ship.

IMO, they "fixed" the wrong thing. Unlimited supplies on a remote station is silly. If you want to build remote stations, you should have to add solar collectors and supply storage to it. If you don't have the tech for that, then research it. Yes, that would make early remote stations harder to be usefull. But hey, your race is just entering it's space age. "unlimited supplies" should be farther down the timeline. Just my .02
