Didn't S_J or someone write a mod that took planetside resupply depots out of the game altogether, and so force players to build supply bases with stacks of solar panels?

Or am I just dreaming?

It certainly ought to be possible to mod this in the latest Version. It would be a very cool way to play imho.

Would it be possible to apply weapon mounts to solar panels and vary their output according to size, so that you get better returns from base-based panels than (small) ship-based ones? That would be a neat twist.
