Default Re: Supply bug?

If I'm reading this right, you need to move the non-supplied ships off the Supply Depot then back on. I believe the resupply operation is performed upon ENTERING the sector with a supply depot. So, if you built your ship first, then your SD, it did not happen 'cause you did not ENTER the sector, you were already there.

Resupply does seem to have a few bugs. I've found that if you retrofit a ship with a Quantum Reactor (from a ship without one), you will have Zero supplies untill you pass over a Supply Depot. You can't even merge it with a fleet that has supplies to share.

It seems that a ship built or retrofitted ending up with Zero supplies, you have to do an initial resupply at a Supply Depot. At least I think that's how it works. I have tested a little of this theory by doing the following:

1. Have 2 ships identical 5 engines and no additional supply storage. No other components seem to matter. At a Space Yard but no Supply Depot (or even a ship with repair bays for that matter).

2. Retrofit 1 ship with just a Quantum Reactor added. When retrofitted ship still shows supplies left (because of supplies in engines).

3. Retrofit 2nd ship w/ Quantum Reactor AND all new engines. When retrofitted ship shows Zero supplies. Then see above solution for resupplying ship.

Anyone else experience anything like this??? If so, could someone forward this to MM / SG???
