Re: SE5 Ordnance Supply?
Ever since original SE IV came out I have continually requested that Quantum Reactors be given a clear limit per turn because an infinite rate of generation is much more difficult to justify than an (effectively) infinite duration of production. Sure, you can create a source of energy that continues to operate for many years. Nuclear reactors today get refueled once a decade or so. What's impossible to justify is that one such device can refill any number of ships in the same fleet like it's a tap attached to an extra-dimensional swimming pool. So it would still be possible to 'run out' of energy with a QR if you used it faster than it could be replenished.
I'm glad to hear that resupply depots will have finite limits. Now let's fix the QR as well...
