If I make better SRV ammo does that mean that ALL my ammo is now better?

If I have used half my ammo in my SRV and I make more does it all become better suddenly?

Conversely, If I make the basic ammo does it all become basic?

I just want to know if I should I wait until the weak ammo is all gone before I use 'expensive' materials to make more.

Also, If I have two SRVs do they both suddenly have better ammo. How do I keep track?

I'm primarily interested in the SRV at the moment since I'm in guardian territory and I'd like to be a bit more powerful at the 'Guardian Structures' but I'm curious how this works for ship ammo as well.

If you restock with premium ammo all ammo in the SRV will be premium (but only that SRV, not in your other(s)).
Someone on the forum mentioned that when you dock back with the ship the 'restock' / repair function of the ship retains the premium ammo - I've not verified this though.

I haven't verified it either, but my understanding is that the premium grade persists until you do another synthesis on top of it, even with re-docking, etc.

I have no idea what happens when you restock at a base though.

Your ship doesn't re-stock your ammo or fuel. I have run out of ammo several times on long voyages and had to synth more.
Although your ship does repair your SRV, a premium repair will persist until you synth a lower level repair, even with the ship topping off your repair each time you re-board.

A long time ago I did actual testing on this and at that time the hull synth worked differently, but it was obviously bugged. Fuel and ammo followed current rules, hull was persistent. I'm pretty sure it is not any more.

My premium hull repair has persisted since the start of the DW2 expedition, even after docking at EA and all the other stations we hit along the way. You'll only lose it of you overwrite it with a basic repair.
I always recommend premium repair on an expedition. SRV damage is amplified when you're at a meetup with other ships and SRV destruction is a common sight at gatherings.
I have mats on hand for 15-20 premium repairs but conserve them by letting the ship repair whenever possible.

What was the bug? And what does the system work like now?

This field seems to be changed every time I test...

Interesting... What about fuel and ammo?

I usually do premium fuel, it survives boarding the ship until it runs out or you synth a lower grade over the top, I don't think it survives a station refuel but I couldn't swear to that.

I don't think I've ever used ammo other than basic.
