Re: Supplies and station keeping
There's a general problem with supplies: Ships (and fighters) do not use ANY supplies if they don't move or fire weapons. This is a bit silly. Anyone knows that a ship sitting still must still use a great deal of fuel and other supplies in order to operate its various systems and the crew does have to breathe, eat, shave/bathe or whatever personal hygene your alien race might have, and pursue a little bit of recreation while off-duty. I've tried setting a supply usage for Life Support components but it has no effect. There should be a regular supply usage by life support each turn. If MM would make the supply usage setting for Life Support work, we'd be able to limit the station-keeping time for ships and fighters reasonably. Request #9987476745 -- maybe someone should keep track of them like the Ferengi 'Rules of Acquisition'?
