Default Re: Should I buy it? Help me understand

If ships are in a fleet, supply levels will be redistributed at the beginning of the turn amongst all ships in the fleet so that they have equal levels of supplies (up to their individual max supply capacity, of course). This requires no special technology. Unfortunately, you can not choose how many supplies each ship gets, but it works well for 99% of the situations you will encounter. Just include some ships with a few Supply Storage and a bunch of Solar Collectors to have them generate supplies to distribute each turn (Solar Collectors generate some supplies for each star in the system each turn).

The Quantum Reactor cheats. It does not generate any supplies, it makes the ship have infinite supplies. So, one ship in a fleet with a QR will make all ships in that fleet have full supplies (up to their individual supply capacities) at the beginning of each turn.
