Different strokes, eh? I don't savescum or change the rules; that kinda defeats the point for me.
I've been playing a little Star Traders: Frontiers a while back, which offers optional automatic refueling, and various M&B Warband mods, some of which offer automatic resupply. ST:F and some of the mods also had configurable price limits, or configurable details on what stocks to keep. In all those cases, I activated the automation and never looked back. When I later played different mods that did not have such features, my fun was sapped by the routine of going to town and buying food almost daily when on campaign.
Neither of those games have any sort of warning on running low though, and they will happily let you slam into a wall of "CONSEQUENCES NOW" while you were busy thinking about something else altogether.
It's pretty much the same for me in SS; sure managing the resources is no problem, and it serves important gameplay and balance purposes, but it's also just no fun. It's a hassle, a chore, a mindless keep-checking and clickety-click when necessary task. This would be the first thing I'd outsource to my officers.
