If you don't include reactors ships have 0 supplies and cannot move, if you include a reactor it will be refilled every turn making supply consuption null.
An ability to generate a fixed amount of supplies would be useful, but I don't think that solar generation can simulate it in any way.
I've been saying this since before the first release of the game. As with all other ideas that involve changes to abilities, MM seems to have very fixed opinions and needs to realize that many people want this. Send an email expressing your frustration with the inflexible Quantum Reactor ability. All that is required is for the Quantum Reactor ability to take a number. If the number is 0 then it can be 'infinite' like the current QR ability, otherwise it can generate exactly the given amount of supplies per turn. This would open up the possibility of all sorts of cool new supply technologies and even special goodies like self-regenerating engines.
