Would a satelite with panels ever run out of supplies, if not this would seem ideal???


Two things:
- Sats have infinite supplies and/or do not use or keep track of supplies. You never have to worry about ammo on a sat.
- Running out of supplies does not affect the minig capability of your ship. Let it sit there forever.
- Ships cost maintenace! be sure that you are still getting more resources OUT of the planet than you are putting into the ship!

Agreed I'll figure out the basic game before buggering around with it!
Feel free to download and play with the B5 Mod that is being written!
