I say increase their size to 500kt and raise their cost to 50k.

Or ban them. Or something.

Or accept that they have been part of the game since at least SE3 where they were even more effective than they are now.

Proportions treat QR rather gently, you may check how PvK moded it.

[Gryphin]

You can always mod a special ships plating of solar panals or a large efficient solar sail.

[Fyron]

Solar panels are not a good solution, because their generation is dependant on the stars in the system.

[Gryphin]

My understanding is that the QR is "too" good.
The Solar Sails have limitations. The amount of juice they generate is moddable.
What am I missing here?

[Fyron]

Solar collector generation is based off of stars in the system. This is not what QR are supposed to do. They should not be dependant on the number of stars for supply generation. This is why it is an imperfect solution. What we need is an ability that generates X supplies per turn, period. No dependance on stars or anything like that.

Slick.

What kind of supply sucking high energy cannons do you use to run out of supplies? The engine supplies should be completely filled at the beginning of the combat in case of a QR in a fleet. The engines should provide enough supplies even for components like planet crunchers

Take a look at the supply usage of Capital Ship Missiles.

Or Wave-Motion Guns (they use even more supplies than CSM's...)
