Default Re: What\'s going on with SUPPLY?

I processed 2-3 turns, I set everything to easy in this game just to learn the ropes, and boy there's a bunch of ropes! Those ships still haven't received supply, but other ships in the system are. SJ's point on transferring cargo from other systems may be of use in the future, as well as your thoughts on supply ships. I had just redesigned some ships to carry extra supply/ordinance, and I may ammend that to just have some large supply ships and set up runs from other systems I do not have fleets stationed in.

This is however just another tedious aspect of the design of SEV. Having to sweat details of logistical supply is tedious, not fun. Maybe it's just me but I'm puzzled by the concept of a science fiction game where you can build huge star faring warships that can destroy entire solar systems, but you have to struggle to supply them. While it's semantics arguing common sense in this type of game, this just makes no sense to me.

Now I'm off to contact tech support about the crash bug in strategic combat. (rolls eyes)

Thanks again for your assistance, death to your enemies!
