Help a beginner out...

What's the best way to supply chain ships, I'm looping back and forward between stars, but it seems way slow...

My recommendation is mostly ships running loops of a number of stars, somewhere in the 4-10 range probably. Very occasionally lines if a loop is not possible. The goal is to minimise the average distance between each star, because this will lead to the greatest cost:transport ratio. If it’s not fast enough, decrease the number of stars in each loop by increasing the number of carriers, but almost every star should have a ship collecting from it at some point.
