Hiyas,

I am trying to understand how the supply relationships work in SE_IV. Lets say I have a ship that has 500 supply points currently and 4 weapons that each use 10 supply (total of 40) How does this relate if I start a combat session?-- each time the ship fires a weapon it will lose 10 points? I am trying to determine if a ship can run out of supply during a combat sesion (before the combat ends) also if a shield uses supply and I have no more supply-- is this simulated during combat?
