Re: Usefulness of supply ships?
Quote:
- For maximum efficiency, the supply ship must have 3000 storage points [the amount generated per turn in the example] MORE than the biggest other ship in the fleet. This ensures that even when the ships are *almost* full, the supply ship can still collect the full 3000 supply generation, and then distribute it.

Re: Usefulness of supply ships?
In the example, the fleet has one supply ship in addition to 4 other ships for a total of 5 ships, right?

Re: Usefulness of supply ships?
I love supply ships and even included a special one in the STM. I dislike the Q-reactor very much as it is really unrealistic to have it. Now having one for very large ships would be nice, but making it cost a bajillion dollars in resources is the best thing.

Re: Usefulness of supply ships?
Call me "unrealistic" then. I charge straight for the Q-reactors. Screw the Solar Collectors.
