Slick.

That's the way SEIII worked IIRC. In some ways that was better - in other ways the current system is better. I think it would be nice to have both; not from the MicroManage perspective but from the 'reality' perspective. For instance, any ship with crew quarters will use some supplies each turn reguardless of ship movement / combat (don't fighters do that now?) Ships with just MC's should not use 'em unless move or fire....

I know this has been discussed many times - just my $.02 ...
