It's been requested, a LOT. People don't like the fact that you can create a little ship with a warp opener/closer and a repair bay and wander around opening and closing warp points all over the galaxy.
Well,
EUREKA!, it can be done now.
What you do is give the warp opener/closer component another ability. Emergency resupply. Just a small amount, like 10 or so. Interestingly you have to have some amount of supply, you can't simply set it to zero or this doesn't work. Then when the warp component is used it can't be repaired until you find a space yard.
You could have a ship with a space yard and a warp opener, or have another ship tag along with a space yard on it. But at least this way you have to have a bigger ship.
Another quirky thing is the ship will have two icons lit. The stellar manip icon and the "use component" icon. When you do the stellar manip, you don't actually get the supply. You can however use the component withth ehother icon and get the supply, but then you can't do stellar manip with it till you repair it.
There you go. Don't say I never gave you anything.
