QR's give too much. I say ban them!

I say increase their size to 500kt and raise their cost to 50k.

Or ban them. Or something.

Yes, the QR is too powerful. Many people have been requesting that MM change it to produce only a certain amount of supplies per turn. There is a difference between infinite supplies at a fixed rate of production and infinite supplies at an infinite rate of production. It wouldn't be that big a change, either. He'd only have to change a few lines of code somewhere. We just have to get enough people to ask for it to convince him.

How about if your ships get hit by Ionic Dispersers? If all that the ship has is engines (no supply pods or QR), it will be out of supplies, and unable to fire (assuming the ID gets past the shields). This is why QR on every ship, or a Supply Storage on every ship, is a good idea.

Never tested it, but does QR replenish supplies of a ship DURING combat ?

i hope they wouldnt remove the quantum engine ability all together, just add a new ability to generate x-amount of supplies per turn. that way you could have different levels of ability.
what does the supply generation ability do? i know what the solar supply generation does, but could supply generation be the ability you are asking for?

Or accept that they have been part of the game since at least SE3 where they were even more effective than they are now.

Proportions treat QR rather gently, you may check how PvK moded it.
