Supplies.

Bases have unlimited supplies, provided they are indeed bases according to the game. (The P&N PBW mod transforms these bases into immobile ships, which do not have unlimited supplies)

Hahaha... Hmm... might net be such a bad idea. Although the rate at wich the techs are discovered would make them uttlerly outdated and useless. Ah well, I have dug myself in. Now to construct my fleet. You're gonna die, filthy AI!!!!

You can build the base there but you cannot fleet your ships with a base. This was patched out a couple patches ago I believe so you can no longer fleet with a base and gain more supplies. You have to either a) build a ship with the QG or b) resupply ships on a planet.

There is an option in settings.txt to allow bases to be fleeted with ships (thus resupplying the fleet) but is set to false in the default file.

How do supplies for fighters work now? If your fighters are getting low on supplies, can you refuel them by landing them onto carriers or a planet and then relaunching them? If so, does it deplete the supplies of the carrier?

Also, what happens when you fleet your fighters with your ships? I seem to recall that the supplies of ships and fighters are not shared when they are fleeted together.
