How can I increase Logistics Capacity?
« on: September 22, 2013, 04:18:34 AM »

I've been playing for a bit and managed to amass a rather big fleet, unfortunately I can't use them all because of Logistical Capability, which after rereading patch notes and some testing, I realized is based on Ships Supplies/day number in the Ship_data.csv.

Now, I have Leadership 10 and Fleet Logistics at 10. my maximum Logistics Capability is 100. I would like it higher though..

I still want ships to cost supplies to run, so I don't really want to reduce supplies/day to something really low. at the same time I want a bigger fleet.

How can I increase my maximum Logistical Capacity?

Or would it be a lot easier to just edit the supplies/day stat for ships anyway?
I mean, I could do it, with a bit of trial and error I'm sure I can find a decently balanced pace.. It's just a lot of work with 5 mods running..


While we are on the topic of Skills, What exactly does emergency repairs entail? Field Repairs (second to last in technology) gives +3 supplies/day to emergency repairs, but I haven't figured out what that actually means?

Is it simply faster repairs the first few seconds, or what? do I need to click or activate anything for it to work?

Makes that many supplies/day used for repairs, fleetwide, not count towards your logistics use. Ie, If you're using 20 supplies/day to repair, and have the skill at 5, 15 of those will not increase your logistics usage, so your logistics usage will only increase by 5.

Its very useful if you run a lot of fighter wings, since making new hulls takes a lot of supplies, and repairing them after a battle can easily send you over logistics capacity when together with CR recover.

Awesome, thank you very much.

In the future when you have time Alex (assuming you are reading this) A description of such skills would be great.. (the Emergency repairs skill that is)

I read the description, and wonder if repairs include CR recovery (latter more important to me), and I suspect it does not.  Logistics is too low without high Leadership.  With mid-to-high Leadership, it becomes enough instead of excessive.
