How does resupply work?

[Cyrien]

I use stealth combat.

Fleets of Cruisers and Battle Cruises popping in and out attacking at will with a cloaked supply ship with a repair bay. Then all of the ships have Emergency Resupply pods. I do not rely on the whims of weak and pathetic stars for me supplies! BWAHAHA... err well actually Solar is a good way to go as well...

Ditto that on the solar collectors. Since they even work when cloaked, and simply being cloaked doesn't seem to use up supply (although you do need to have at least 1 unit or cloak drops...), you end up needing a LOT fewer ships on rotation as you can simply cloak and recharge, instead of returning to friendly space.

That is, until your enemies research good-enough sensors.

Also Stellar Harnessing eventually gives you solar sails, which are seriously good juju. Mmmm, DNs with speed 11/6, BCs at 13/7 (prop exp).
