Quantum Reactors

Never tested it, but does QR replenish supplies of a ship DURING combat ?

i hope they wouldnt remove the quantum engine ability all together, just add a new ability to generate x-amount of supplies per turn. that way you could have different levels of ability.
what does the supply generation ability do? i know what the solar supply generation does, but could supply generation be the ability you are asking for?

QR's give too much. I say ban them!

I say increase their size to 500kt and raise their cost to 50k.

Or ban them. Or something.

Or accept that they have been part of the game since at least SE3 where they were even more effective than they are now.

Proportions treat QR rather gently, you may check how PvK moded it.

You can always mod a special ships plating of solar panals or a large efficient solar sail.

[Fyron]

Solar panels are not a good solution, because their generation is dependant on the stars in the system.

My understanding is that the QR is "too" good.
The Solar Sails have limitations. The amount of juice they generate is moddable.
What am I missing here?
