Quantum Reactors

"But the point is that supplies represent something physical, in other words, matter of some sort, not just energy."

As evidenced by the solar panels..they don't. Heck, even the QR implies they don't, but with that things power generation you could probably use good ole E =MC^2 and get mass -that- way.

They are "solar collectors" even though the image looks a lot like a solar panel.

Hence why I said earlier that the solar collectors seem to act more like hydrogen ramscoops than as actual solar panels.

The Quantum Reactor is magic tech as it is right now, so can do basically whatever it wants.

Ok, so it wasn't obscure. But hey! You get a free drink on my tab for figuring that out.

A QR with a "generates X supplies per turn" ability could be enough to supply a single ship forever and work in a vary similar way it does now, only that not enough for a large fleet.
