Use the suppy at the planet when you have teammates to heal up. You know, when after the dreads and stats are all blowed up and sitting for repairs? Help them out.
Sit at platforms, and look to dodge in and immediately back out if an ally needs reps or ammo.
Don't expect to live.
If you need sup badge, and you just suck at not dying, and even more so at not caring, than be weak and go Kluth. Then if it gets hot u just hop and cloak.
Figure out ways to use them instead of asking for them to be changed to be used the way YOU think they should be. Chances are if you need the badge, you simply dont know what you are doing or how to use the ship. The fact you need the badge is kinda proof of this...JS.

Also remember you can repair ai.
When you are starting to repair I really suggest not being k'luth, what ape suggesting not be to k'luth, but yes, k'luth are weaker armor wise so I suggest ugto or icc, and just stick around repairing ai, and if you don't see action if your out in the field then be prepared to jump, personally I normally warn supplies by not shooting them all at once cause I was a supply trying to get badges once too, so I try to help them by killing the other ships first.

I see that with the station nerf that repair ships are going to be at least a little more common. Glad to see they got some love.

New supply ships for all three factions are in beta right now if you all want to test them out.

In Beta the (UGTO) supply ships are about like so:
All have 4 plates of armor on the outer layer, 1 on each arc.
Light Supply has 1 full arc armor, and 3 engines (25 - destroyer)
Medium supply has 2 full arc armor, and 2 engines (20 - cruiser)
Heavy supply has 3 full arc armors, and 1 engine (15 - dread)
The extra armor tacks on survivability.
They cover all arcs, but only have the HP of a single arc of armor, so it's not quite as durable as it looks like since when those get hit, the whole thing starts turning red across the board.
