I have a question about supply status Icon in the ship detail. I am getting Low Supplies Icon as soon as the ship is built. Is this normal? I get this on all ships. I'll have to run one low and see if it goes to No Supplies.

On War Ships, I never see this problem.

It is always best to have at least ONE Supply bay on a war ship or any other type of ship, as with all se4 designs

Starliners with one supply bay and Propulsion 1, have an expected one way range of 36 to 40 sectors about 19 TURNS of travel, before they run out of fuel. If you want a none stop Starliner Convoy to go more then 18 Turns without fuel, it is best to have a Small Transport as a Tanker escort, this has been posted earlier, HercMighty

If you want even more range, as with se4. It is best to research CARGO TECHs even Propulsion will increase your range

You will find many interesting articles on Supply and Resupply in the (FAQ) section of the Forum here.
But basically if you add a Supply Bay Component on your ship, you should be, ready to rock n roll
