The problem is solved with shortages, what about too much?

Okay, the Dominion have a system that basically prevents shortage of Supplies (aka Ketracel White). But I always some how end up having 8000 somethin supply and I cant seem to find anything significant to spend it to help rebalance my income (I like a balanced income of resource).

I propose a station that sells Ketracel to Dominion in other sectors in exchange for Tritanium or Dilithium. Because I very commonly end up with resource bank stats like this:

D: 24800  T: 12910  S: 8000

... or this
D: 89640  T: 51004  S: 49960


I'd really like something to solve an out-of-control surplus, please. (FYI: This isn't MP. So don't bother with the "Give to someone else" thing)

Problems like this is what the Trading is for... Both the Instant and Station versions.

Speaking of which, does the 'Instant Trade' work if you don't have an Ally?

The instant trade does not work without Ally. Besides, I usually have it on but I don't like how Ai's waste my gifted resources...

the dominion will get a supply change in the next patch either way, to make supply a more relevant resources. besides that, under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be a too large resource "waste"

hmmm........ Shouldn't there always be a way to get rid of surplus supply. Like a turret that lauches drones that auto-attack enemies where the only cost is supply? Like 3 supply for a wee little Poleron drone?

But then what happens if you're low on supply? (For whatever reason)

EDIT: *facepalms* I didn't mean it that way - I was talking about the supply-shooting rocket
Hardly a serious point, really...

Hmmm...

With its current stats, the fighters that the Dominion Carrier launches can be considered drones, that is, destroyer-sized remotely (or AI) controled combat units. And every volley costs 15 supplies, besides dilithium and tritanium. You only need to slow them down a little.
