[Atilla the Pun]

I have the Gold demo and I was reading somewhere (on a fan site, certainly not the "Help"!) that if a ship with a repair bay is with a fleet that fleet will never be out of supply. However, this does not seem to be the case in the game I am currently playing. I was wondering if I had misread, or if this was written prior to Gold and the game has changed.
Help?
