What's going on with SUPPLY?

Check your planet's cargo, and see how much supply they have available.

If you sucked them dry when you arrived, you could either move the ships, or order them to load (under cargo) supplies from the planet.

The resupply depot will distribute a small number of supplies as noted before, each turn to ships anywhere in the system. It will also push an unlimited number of supplies to ships entering and/or leaving the hex. (Limited only by the planetary storage amount)

OK I checked the planet and it's out of supplies. The ships can only move one hex a turn so moving them will take ages. I'm probably misunderstanding your load cargo comment since the planet has no supplies? And yes the retrofit involved new engines, should I receive a supply penalty for upgrading engines? I need to dump supplies planet side before retrofitting! I hope that's a bug. Jeeze, I guess I need to build a resupply base on every planet now. This seems bloody tedious.

Thanks for all your help guys, I'll say it again, this forum saves this game. You guys should be sharing in whatever profits there are.
