Now that's a question. My group rather enjoy empire building (and the implied need to maintain it), we say you have to make replacements and transport them out to restock the ships. That does make ordnance heavy fleets suffer more than beam based.

For damage, we again require you to be fixed by a designated Builder/Repairer, however they can be mobile and accompany your fleets.

I'm just putting the finishing touches to most of my site at the moment (well I have been for the last month), though here's the current state:

It's really about preference, I'll be the first to admit our system is quite complex, some people like that and others don't.
