[The Gnome]

Hey all, I'm slowly starting to get the hang of things, but had a small question regarding base design.

I designed a Ship Repair Base the other night and after it was built it immediately showed an out of supply icon. I had supplied it with a Solar panel to have it generate supplies.

My questions in general:
a) It is a repair base and had no weapons - does it need supply?

b) As I mentioned it has solar panels, but also is in a system with multiple resupply depots. Do I need at least a 5kT supply module for the base to receive supplies at all?

c) As far as I can tell supply only seems to affect things like movement and cloaking - anything else?
