Cheers!

You can build mining stations that are specifically for supply, the miners mine the supply very quickly but transfer it quite slowly, so you can easily have a supply station around each moon without disrupting dilithium/trilithium mining operations

Or just buy more supplies like any other race.

How do I buy more supplies?

And how do I set my mining stations specifically for supplies?

Well yes, there is that as well  :lol: I'm just this strange sort of lazy where I'd rather go through the effort of building extra stations around my moons than click on a button every so often  :sweatdrop:

You can buy them from the Starbase, there's a button right at the far right. And it's a whole separate station from the regular mining station, it's the third one along in the build menu of the construction ship

I use the station, too. Normally in my allies base, just to be evil.

But without the station, dont you need to buy the supplies ALL the time? I imagine thats a pain in the ass, especially now that supplies get more costly the more you buy them.

Ketracel mining stations rock! But they sure are expensive :S

Aye, it gets expensive considering the high supply cost of Dominion ships which is why I use the stations primarily, but buy them if I need a quick boost At least it levels off at 1400 dil/tri and doesn't keep increasing forever though

yes sirs.
Which is why I as hoping we could make an exception to the 1 miner at a moon at any one time rule for the Dominion supply miners.

If we could mine from the same moon simultaneously supplies and resources - meaning 1 dilithium miner comes from the resource station and 1 from the supply station. And tthey are counted as a separate type of miner allowing them to mine the same moon simultaneously.
But we still keep the resource miners and supply miners as 1 of that class per moon - meaning no 2 dilitium or supply miners or trilithium miners per moon.
The supply miner unload rate can be adjusted to compensate, but at least we will be able to have supplies and resources flowing. instead of stopping and then restarting as and when each miner fnishes.

Other than that, and the wolf pack idea that Baron mentioned, the Dominion are IMO pretty complete and good to go.

i don't know if i'm doing something wrong but i don't have problems with supplies.
what i do is i always fast expand with dom. i build 1 mining station per moon in my main base and 1 supply station in the middle. at the expansion i build 1 mining station in the middle and 1 supply near t moon. with this i have 3 shipyards building ships: bugs / bommbers ; escort cruisers / breen cruisers ; heavy cruisers. now i can take 3 expansion but i dont build supply there. instead i take 1 miner from d moon at the 2 expansion and build supply station there. now i can build 3 basic shipyard and switch from heavy cruisers to battlecruisers at advance shipyard or build 2 advance shipyard whatever my tactic is. if my timing is right i can reaserch, build ships/stations non-stop and there is no way klings/feds will have more ships.
sadly this BO had to be adjusted after the patch but i think that it's sill strong.
on a side note: it's not very original, i now
