Is Resupply Tech worth it???

[Taqwus]

Go for both -- stellar harnessing first, resupply much later. You'll eventually want the QR, for

a) fighting in nebulas, black-hole systems, and so forth in a huge galaxy. In a huge 255-system galaxy, a player might even push for QR and stellar manipulation, and start exploding stars.

b) many fights in a row -- e.g. making 7 or 8 different attacks per turn with the same ship. Particularly if you use strategic combat, where the AI wastes oodles of supply on pointless shots...

c) more space for certain nifty goodies, like religious talisman (40 or 50kt IIRC), cloaking devices (40kt), and tachyon/gravitic sensors (40kt again). The talisman, in particular, is extremely helpful.
