I just started a new game today, havent played in a while and wanted to check out the new stuff, and find myself somewhat confused.
The addition of logistics giving limited travel ranges are something I like.
But its not working the way I had expected it to wors, and took me some time to figure out.
I colonized 2 planets in a system at the edge of my current supply range from my homeworld, and upgraded the first of those two planets with lvl 2 farming and lvl 2 industry.
Despite this my supply range still remained the same, it did not extended with the colonizing of a new planet.
I found out out I had to build a new ship in order to get the new extended supply range
Apparently the supply range of a ship is based on when it was built rather than on what colonies you have and where.
This seems rather counter intuitive in my opinion as I will need to spend money on building new ships every time I want to travel beyond that original supply range.
This would be very costly in later stages of the game especially if I'm at war and need to move ships to defend or attack other planets.
It would seem more natural and logical to extend the supply rage as I colonize rather than need to build a new ship every time.
Since I can see no good reason for making it this way, I have to ask if this is an intended design or a bug?

Re: Colonized new planet, but no exended supply range
You are right, it should work exactly as you describe it. I see what's going on (the ships supply range isn't updating immediately due to a bug) and will fix it, should not be too long. I'll update this post once it is live.

The hotfix (v1.0.0.90) is now live and it will now update in all cases where something affecting logistics is changed. Thanks Bansheedragon!

I must say I'm amazed at how fast it was fixed, especially considering its in the middle of easter, but its good to hear its been fixed.
