Hello,
I recently was in a supply ship for 1 hour repairing a dread, this is annoying as it is very slow, I dont understand how it could take my entire invantory of Drones to repair 1 dread. I am a supply ship and I think I should be able to be more efficent when not in combat.
What I would like to see happen.
I would love to see.
A action window that supply ships need to worry about that makes them at least have to direct the drones... a tactical interface for dones.
Given how much interaction the supply ship captin can give and how fast can dictate how fast the supply/repair of a ship can go, think about it in combat the supply ship cannot focus on the window and the reload would be slow... but if not in combat the supply ship can focus on it and repair quickly...
Just a suggestion so that it brings skill into the repair of a ship and not just a boring task to be done to get prestege and a badge but something that you can say, Hey! I deserved that because I was able to do it quickly and efficently.
Example of the hud
X = 15
Y = 25
Z = 99
The Supply ship captin has to set
X To: 15
Y To: 25
Z To: 99
and the drones get a supply boost.
I think the XYZ boost could change and offer a boost as soon as the XYZ equals the displayed value.
In due requards

The pres gain from supping is time based, IIRC. That means that you get more pres for taking a longer time to rep someone.

Taking your dessie into combat vs dreads and stations is going to be much harder. You don't get much pres for hitting shields or armor, and up close they're gonna murder you with just a couple of alpha strikes.

What I meant is, you don't have many options prior to flying the Heavy or Assault cruiser. Supping is the best way to rank up. Better than construction anyway.
And trying to gain combat pres in a dessie in a galaxy of dreads and stations will only make you lose pres by way of fiery deaths.

The only reason supply prestige sucks is that it is paltry in comparison into spaming spacebar at a target.

I tested it in release a few days ago:
supply prestiges does NOT suck.
The high amount you could/can gain via combat just makes it look likes it sucks.
