They sort of do suck. Not very many people use them except for RP purposes.

FYI, I do tend to RP more than chase for max efficiency all the time. Still, extreme imbalances annoy me. Same goes for the "Neutral" thing. I wanted to RP a Romulan-type empire, no traffic with other empires, god-like spying abilities, quick tech to cloaking devices etc., but the weakness of having a "Neutral" disposition is a real killer.

Either way works. It has been mentioned before that you want at least 1 or 2 supply storage on each warship that you have. But I would suggest having a few supply tankers in your fleets as well to resupply the fleet once the battle is over. Or just go straight for the QR and have unlimited supplies no matter what.

I would prefer to use supply tankers but the way resupplying works is so crude and inefficient. I wish resupply ships could be given a "Resupply" ability so that they can transfer set amounts to supply to target ships. SEV maybe.
