Is this possible in a mod?

Actually, regular players wouldn't be able to charge it up enough...

They would. Resupply Depots are infinite, and aren't exactly high tech; Quantum Reactors would work for more flexibility.

All you need to do is make the engines use *some* supplies; 1 point per engine is all it takes. Solar Collectors would be enough to correct a low supply expense.

That, and the Warp Opener does not need to use many supplies, but merely all the supplies on board the vessel (which can be any amount, depending on how the vessel is designed). 3,000 could be powered up by a lone supply cargo with 6,000 or more.

I would recommend using a special tech trait for the Ancients that includes *all* their components, so as to make the computation easier... That, and Ion Engine I on Ancient ships would look odd.
