At one point in the Restructured thread we discussed adding a scene where the Republic agrees to support the Resistance, but it comes too late to stop the destruction of the Hosnian system.

Considering that the Resistance seemingly comes into possession of quite a few ships right after the events of TFA, it makes such a scene all the more appropriate.

I imagine that the scene would happen during the final cutaway to the Resistance, and be in the form of a transmission from an alien diplomat. Something like:

“General, we have heard your plea for help. Reinforcements are being fueled for immediate launch.”
