Troops and Supplies??

[igoblin]

I use fighters extensively in most of my games I do know that they do not need supplies when being carried by a carrier or on a planet. However when moving in space by themselves they use up supplies. (They are very short range by themselves so they need to stick close to a resupply depot.)

As this is supply related as well, has anyone noticed that stellar manipulations components don't use up any supplies when used?
I think the matter gavity sphere for instance says it needs 4000 supplies but you can use it on a ship that doens't even carry that many supplies.
