Default Re: Is Resupply Tech worth it???

I tend to use Stellar Harnessing, too. I prefer to build dedicated "Supply Ships" and build fleets rather than spend vital space in every warship on solar panels, though. The reason that Resupply doesn't seem "worth it" to research, at least early in the game, is that supply is something you can get from a planet instantly. This means you tend to want to stick around your planets, which is as it should be. If the QR was available early, the whole flavor of the game would be changed.

Speaking of the QR, does anyone think it's a bit illogical that one little component can refuel an entire FLEET in a single turn? Sure, the tech is supposed to produce limitless supplies but does that mean a limitless VOLUME or just an endless stream at a real, definable rate? I think the QR should produce X supplies per turn and just never run out, not infinite supplies per turn.
