Default Re: Best way to make a resupply ship?
I have to differ with Trachmyr. I do use Solar Collectors in fleets and on tankers. I don't do the "cargo mod" for supply modules, but I've found that 1 Sol Collector on each ship (the space IMO is worth it) and 2 cruisers with a mix of SC's and Supply Modules (working in the tanker mode) works great. I can go a LONG way without being too low on supplys. and the occasional trinary system fills your tanks real fast...

Besides, Solar Harnessing is a cheap and effective research early on in low tech games...I really like the Sails...
