Default Re: Supply question

Run a test using some Ionic Dispersers. No supply storage on the enemy ship, just the engines (and weapons! But skip shields to make it easier to test...). See what happens.

In 1.76 (IIRC), Ionic Dispersers were really deadly. This was after loss of supplies meant no weapons could fire, and before Ionic Dispersers were made to be unable to ignore shielding. All it took was one shot from a heavy ID or two from a large ID to totally disable a ship. Unless, of course, they had a supply storage component on them. Then they could still fire, just not move. This is why it is generally always a good idea to put a supply storage component on all ships of size LC and larger. Nowadays, you have to take out the shields first, which is fairly easy with Shield Depleters.
