Scenario tips & tricks

Which gives yet another use for the sentry order in scenerios: time bomb. Give a ship a cloaking device and a star killer. When the supplies drop below 1000 (or maybe to 0?) from the use of the cloak, the sentry order will be cleared and the manipulation order will activate.

Will a star killer still work with NO supplies?

Hey, just had a brainstorm! I think?!?

I remember that I once abandoned a planet - Took all population off it - but somehow I left the facilities and units intact. Since units take no resources to maintain, shouldn't it be possible to leave a world full of stuff ready to be taken over if only you can defeat the units protecting it?
A huge planet (or a sphere world!) full of Super high-tech weapon platforms, satellites, fighters, drones, and robo-troops should be a real challenge to get!

Well, it doesn't matter because Sentry orders clear at 1000 supplies.

Unfortunately Decloak orders can't be qued and the Destroy Star order can't functionw while cloaked, so you'd have to mod in or find another component that burns supply regularly.
