Kevin:

If one core holds 3000 supplies, and my col ships moves at speed 7 with 6 engines taking 30 supplies each:

7 * 6 * 30 = 1260 supplies per turn. - 300 which are generated by one core = 960 supplies per turn. 3000 / 960 = 3 turns.

Means the ship will be depleted within 3 turns.
Your species has just discovered interstellar travel. Barely. In earlier stages it will be a major tradeoff between speed and distance. With a fission core and ramjet engines, it's not advisable to venture far from a resupply depot. If all else fails, the ship can idle a few turns to build up fuel before moving on. Leveling up basic ramjets does not improve their speed, but it does reduce fuel consumption. Stick close to home and strive to achieve Nuclear Fusion. Think of the fission era as a warmup for the real thing.
