I think Booster consumables should be phased out from the game/ limited to drones

[Acecaddy 40]

Back in the days, those existed, but at LIMITED quantities, so you didn't find everyone abusing them 24/7
these days, if you are one of the few tanklers to have drained the supply of any of those, the game becomes laughably unfair
No damage boost? your shots will now feel like wet paper! no defense boost? Oh well, enjoy getting one-shot by everything! no speed boost- actually that one's manageable.
I think its time for those to go- or AT LEAST be limited as consumables to drones, its not that this game didn't have broken stuff (like many augments), but it just would be great if those consumables could just be scrapped off...

But are they not already limited to the drones? That's where the supply boosts come from. Or are you talking about the supplies themselves?

the supplies themself, once you run out you're kind of dead meat
I realized this issue keeps happening unless if I turn off automation I guess

Not sure what your situation is in game, (Whether you have other drones, or how much spare crystals you have, how much you play, whether you are endgame player or how much equipment you have upgraded), but extensive use of drones that drain specific type of one supply (Booster, Defender, Trickster) and other end game meta drones like Hyperion and Crisis is more suited for buyers, endgame players and people who managed to save several tens of thousands of supplies over the span of several years. You can still use these if you want, but you should expect that use of one specific drone without a lack of variation and with the lack of exponential amount of supplies will put you on a timer. You should try altering between several drones like Brutus (if f2p) or Defender/Hyperion, limiting play time in MM to mostly just missions completion, saving crystals for 50% sales, trying to play special modes with supplies disabled, etc. Containers these days also give mostly just supplies.

im using the default drone so I don't end up eating alot of my supplies (the automated system sure as hell did though)

You can disable auto-supplies, you know.
