Emergency supply pod

CW · #1 August 28th, 2001, 03:09 PM

Say you have a ship with a supply storage capacity of 500 (1 engine), if you activates an emergency supply pod on this ship (ESP I provides 2000 extra supply), will you lose the excess over the storage capacity?

Even though i dont use resupply pods id say yes you would lose the extra, just as you lose extra minerals and other resources that you dont spend each turn.

So just make sure you use it when it counts!

Yes, you do lose the extra....

For what possible reason would you only put 1 engine on a ship ?

Mayby if you were building a colony ship and you wanted to put max cargo instead of engines because the planet was right next door, but than you would not need the resuply anyway.

One quantum engine, a solar sail, a solar panel.
8 Mp with Advanced propulsion, 4 in combat (with or without advanced propulsion).

Good speed, and you spend only 50KT for infinite range, leaving lots of space for weapons & shields

Exactly!

Correct again!

The cost for my unlimited range, 54 million population capacity colony ship is just over 5100 minerals. I'm trying to cut it down to below 4800, which is the normal build rate for my homeplanets.
