Supply storage + quantum generators, what is it good for?
I've seen some enemy ships with both quantum generators and supply storage, why?
I have only quantum generators on mine.
If my baseship has only 1000 supply storage, will it run out of supplies during combat or will the quantum generator also generate supplies during combat as well as when travelling around the universe?

QRs don't generate supplies during combat, or store any. So if you have only a QR and get hit with engine-killing weapons..all your supply goes away.

Umm... that isn't true. QR makes you have infinite supplies as long as it is operational, even in combat. They have endless supplies. Being hit by an ID in combat does not stop a ship with a QR from being able to fire it's weapons.

If it is AI ships - then take into consideration how difficult is to properly code ship designs that work at different game stages and technologies involved. It is better to be on a safe side and let AI waste some space.
If it is human ships - well, he just like shiny blue containers

If you place the Quantum reactor before the Supply storage the AI will only add the Quantum reactor.

If your QR gets blown out during a battle, yet the ship survives, it can use the storage supplies to limp home... at least that's my guess.

Re: Supply storage + quantum generators, what is it good for?
A repair ship or two fixes that problem up right away. Set supply storage to be the first comp group to be repaired, and QRs should get repaired first.  |

Re: Supply storage + quantum generators, what is it good for?
And slightly off the subject, but still concerning resupply, what is the purpose of quantum reactors (and also solar collectors) on satellites?
Is it just related to component family?
