Default Re: Usefulness of supply ships?

Likewise, I want those extra 3 movement points. I use Supply Storage III for a long time, it's not like it takes up a lot of room. In the late(r) game when I have more research points to spend I "go for the Q" and do a 1-for-1 retrofit on all my ships; Sup.Strg III for Q-reactor.
Voila... no more planning ship-routes to intersect resupply depots, no more building a resupply depot with every shipyard to refuel retrofitted/repaired ships, and every resupply depot can be scrapped for resources and replaced with Mineral Scanners or Rad Colliders.
