Satellites and supplies |
Maybe I am just missing it. But why do Satellites need supplies. I under stand ordinace. But I have been putting out Satellites and have not had any problems by not including supplies.
Notifier would be a good addition
I think that if you include a weapon that needs either supplies or ordanance(sp?), but don't have storage for one or both, an error on the design should show up.

Is a resupply base in the
Is a resupply base in the area?
More info
Yes there is a supply base in the system. I have been using them just around planets as defense and scanning. Did not know some weapons use supplies. I just have ordinace on the sattllites
Resupply Base do not resupply Satellites
I've tested it out and the resupply bases do not resupply satellites in non planet hexes. I will test it out some more to make sure but so far that is what I have observed. I would consider this a bug.
That's not necessary since
That's not necessary since weapons come with a small amount of supplies/ordinance. Granted it's not much for a longer battle, but you can get a few shots off. If you forget to add extra storage then it's a flaw in your design and not the game's responsibility to remind you. Heck back in 4 I actually made a ship and forgot engines. I was curious why I was able to fit so many weapons, but when it didn't move it took me 5 minutes before I noticed the engines were missing.
Energy Weapons & Supplies
Most energy weapons use supplies but no ordnance. Something well worth remembering when making those mega APB battleships - pile on the capacitor batteries!

Some weapons use supplies
Some weapons use supplies when they fire. If you have those weapons on your astellites, they will not fire when the supplies run out.
