The station is specifically to resupply the resupply ships.
Although you will need a raft of freighters to keep the station full.

Re: petition to increase supply ships storage
Point of supply ships is to be SUPPLIED too by M/S freighters. The mechanics are there to do so. And as wrote above the actual capacity of the supply ships is 5x higher if you use the mechanics.Dreez wrote: ↑Mon, 14. Jun 21, 00:01Errmm.. Supplyships aren't fast at all, in any aspect. When i move my fleets, the <insert supplyship> is always slowboating far behind
to the point where it's actually been caught at gates getting shot by enemies that arrived after the rest of the fleet continued to destination.
And on topic - yes in my opinion an XL Fleetsupply ship should have enough cargospace to actually supply a fleet for a long period,
without having to "dock up" to resupply itself. Currently a fleetsupply ship can't even supply 10 fighters with torps - that's bad.
Re: petition to increase supply ships storage
I'd certainly like some pre-set options for my supply ships. Like if I'm not using missiles at all... and it's just a supply ship for a group of say 5-10 destroyers for repairs and restocking. That would be nice... I pretty much never use missiles on anything, so just eliminating that from my supply ships would be cool.
I aim to misbehave...

Re: petition to increase supply ships storage
Wait... you are telling me ONE heavy torpedo require 190m3 of components? Say the energy cells and smart chips are packed inside the torpedo and I only account for the missile components, doesn't 80m3 sounds a tad too big? I mean a sidewinder is approx 6 m3 and even a medium range ballistic missile eg a DF-21 is only around 20 m3... and a S ship can carry scores of those? It sound like one S ship can easily destroy a quite a few cities in a single run. (Do correct me if my calculations/understanding are wrong, I just quickly looked things up and did some quick math)

Depends the size of the torpedo and do not compare with real life.xWolfzx wrote: ↑Mon, 14. Jun 21, 10:26Wait... you are telling me ONE heavy torpedo require 190m3 of components?

In EVE Online we have 1400mm (1.4 metres) artillery, which means it is throwing a whole car.
Re: petition to increase supply ships storage
You do not even need to compare it with real life, just look at a S torpedo launcher in-game, how is the torpedo going to fit the launcher? It doesn't matter if you have a 1400mm arty as long as the size is correct.Panos wrote: ↑Mon, 14.

Re: petition to increase supply ships storage
But if you multiply the storage of all L and XL you end up with ships that barely use their cargo hold to its potential. There are only very few wares that stations can buy in bulk to fill their cargo. More often than not they still don’t use it because trading ai is ...ubuntufreakdragon wrote: ↑Sun, 13. Jun 21, 15:21I say all L and XL ships should have more the 4 times their storage.
5 M Cargo ships together have more storage than any L or XL ship, but are really small in comparison.
OP: yeah, they should up the storage. Makes no sense that the resupply can just supply 4 fighters worth of torpedos/missiles...

That would fix may issues the station AI has ATM.
to make it clear, an Argon, Teladi, Para,Split Containermodule offers:
S: 25000 M: 100000 L: 1000000
A Terran Module gives you:
