Re: Why can\'t carriers be mothballed?

Mothballing the yard base freezes the slow build time. It doesn't continue counting dowwn until you unmothball it.

What about training experience? Will it be reset to "greenhorn" if I mothball a ship? I think, this is what I have seen (from extensive observation).

All ship experience is lost when you mothball the ship. You can still retain fleet experience with an entire fleet of mothballed ships though (move out of fleet, mothball, move back in). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
