The ship with the Quantum reactor on it has INFINITE, not just FULL supplies.

It shares with the rest of the fleet at the end of each turn.

1) new ships added to the fleet will NOT get supplies until the second turn.
2) Combat or movement durinng the turn may deplete the supplies aboard fleeted vessels.
3) The QR- equipped ship will have 100% supplies when its QR is destroyed in combat, even if it moved or fired weapons earlier in the turn.
4) A ship with a QR needs ZERO supply storage to operate, similar to a base.

Sure. I understand this SJ, but how are the other ships in the fleet filled: averaged, or what.

Maybe I'm just an airhead, but I seem to remeber it like dumbluck does; by filling ship(s) with QR's, then adding all supplies from all ships in fleet, then averaging amongst all ships, then filling the ship(s) with the QRs again. It just seems like my fleets are never 'topped off' with supplies (with a QR). Sure, they're always getting added to, but never totally full.

That's one reason why I don't research Resupply for the QR - too expensive and 1 or 2 Solar Collectors (per ship) and a support ship full of 'em seem to me a better 'Return on Investment'....

Am I not seeing this correctly or am I missing a patch or somethin'....

EDIT: Maybe it's just time to go back to researching QR's....
