Supply storage bays...
Engines hold more supplies per KT than the dedicated supply bays.

Should the supply bays be improved, and if so, how?

Absolutely.

Early on, it's silly how more engiens gets you supplies faster than more supply bays. Later on, I still only add supply bays for supply-hog designs ... and even then, only if and when I hit the maximum number of engines allowed for the hull.

Right now engines get 50 supplies per kT. Starting supply bays should get at LEAST the same rate ... if not more (I suggest 75kT to 100kT as a good starting point). Ending supply bays shoudl be at LEAST four times better at holding supplies than an equivalent tonnage of engines.

Supply Bay 1 could hold 2,000 (twice as good per kT as engines)
Supply bay 2 could hold 3,000 (thee times as good per kT as engines)
Supply Bay 3 could hold 4,000 (four times as good per kT as engines)

That's how I think it should be, anyway.
