It would be nice to replace the current system, ships only move one space without supplies, with something else. Possibly ships can't move and guns won't work. Maybe shields are down too? It would certainly make supply alot more important.
Well, I hardly use them, and even when I do it's only in combat because they don't get movement on the system map until the turn AFTER they are launched. So, I've not seen if they get destroyed when they run out of supplies. Yes, they should be, and that's what happens to drones, so this is a good thing. If it doesn't work yet, we'll ask him to fix that, too.
Ships that are out of supplies WHEN they enter combat have 1/2 movement, no shields, and cannot fire weapons. That's a pretty severe handicap. The only problem is, they don't lose anything if they run out of supplies WHILE in combat.
