Oh, I totally agree sats needing supply would be a BIG mess. I was not advocating it at all. The messiness of it all may be why they dont need resupply to begin with, because if you read the information at the top of the Vehiclesize.txt file it sounds as if it was written at a time when they did use supply. It may have been patched out very early becasue of the impracticality of resupplying them.
I was simply addressing the question of putting solar collectors on sats. I was pointing out that it's useless now, but might not be with the next patch, since weapons will not fire when supply is gone.
Of course this may not affect sats at all if the supply doesn't actually get used when they fire the way it does on ships. It was more of a hypothetical discussion than a realistic one.

2nd what if you built a large Sat, put a Supply or 2 on it it maybe even a solar panel, build say 5-10 of these, fleet comes up, hit the join fleet button, sats go into the fleet, would they then include their total supply towards the supply of that fleet??? The fleet won't be allowed to move because of the sats, but after a turn or two, wouldn't their stored supply be used towards the fleet? Then fleet would hit the button again, put the sats back, and go on their way with new supply, Sats would then have to use solar panels to resupply the supply pods.???
I hope I explained what I meant the right way....

This cannot be done because you cannot fleet with sats. It wont' let you.
