Baron, your comment brought up a question in regards to supply. I don't remember the weight restriction on large sats off hand, but would it be possible to..

build large sat
put supply pod/s on it
put solar panel on it
build it (it should have full supply)
transport it to another location in a system
launch
fleet a ship or small fleet with it

would it then give supply to that ship or fleet and would it then re-supply itself over time with the solar panel??? thus in essance, creating a portable, cheap re-supply base??

just a curious Mac
