AI modders, what say you?
1) nope, only when called for
2) once a resupply is built, the AI will ignore further calls in this system

So yes, the AI treats Resupply Depots as a system wide ability. Not sure if it can be tricked into building more by adding a bogus ability. I never tried.
Which begs the question, cybersol: Why would you like to have the AI build more than one depot in a system? Just curious.

Why not combine the resupply depot function with the space yard itself? I always wondered why the space yards couldn't have a gas station built in, seems a bit silly to have a completely separate facility just to pump gas and reload weapons.
