How do I calculate ship supply usage?

[EDIT]Guess this is unnecessary cause Will posted while I was typing it. Oh well...[/EDIT]

Engines use supplies for each space the ship moves. The way that this supply usage is calculated is thus:
#engines*10=supplies per space moved
Therefore your ship would use:
6 engines*10 supplies per engine per move=60 supplies per move
In each turn, it would use:
10 moves*60 supplies per move=600 supplies
The cloaking device adds 100 supplies per turn, so the ship would use 700 supplies per turn.

The solar sail doesn't use any supplies by itself. Since it provides 3 extra movement, supplies will be subtracted for each of the 3 extra spaces your ship moves.

Hope this makes some sense to you.

It's not whether you win or lose that counts: it's how much pain you inflict along the way.
