Resupply a Base

Submitted by rsteph on Fri, 2007-07-20 14:56. Space Empires V General

I've reached the point where I can finally place a ship building component on a ship, so I can build bases in remote locations. As a defensive manuever I want to build a base on a warp point in an empty galaxy (there are no plants in the galaxy for me to build on.

Is there a good way for me to resupply my base with ordanance in the event of a conflict? Is there any tech the allows me to create a resupply line essentially, or would I have to run a ship with extra ordanance/supplies out to it every so often to keep it stocked up?

The only thing that comes to mind is to build the base with supply/ordinance storage and keep a freighter handy at the nearest system with a depot. But theres got to be a better way. Can solar sails be fitted on a base? You'd get some free regeneration that way. Arming the base with weapons that use supply instead of ordinance might help.

when you get to the higher tech levels, you can put supply generators on ships/bases

If you put enough supply/ordinance pods, you won't have to refill it very often. If they actually get to fire off a decent amount of shots, they probably won't last too long anyway, unless you are busy repairing them.

you can give it solar panels(for supply). And if you're organic you can use Ordinance vats.
