Can\'t retrofit.
 

I have 300 000+ of each resource, every resource is in a positive balance.
i'm not using resource converters and I'm not trading/gifting any resorces.
And I can't retrofit a single ship, none!
I get the message:
You do not have enough resources to finance this retrofit!!

Oh yes I do!!!
If it should be a to large retrofit I'm used to getting a mesage telling me that we can't build an entire new ship, but i don't get that message now.
I've tried severeal turns with several ships but: nothing!

The Last retrofits I've tried was from
13 kt minerals
1 kt orgs
3,6 kt rads
to
14 kt minerals
1 kt orgs
3,6 rads.


What's up??

Re: Can\'t retrofit.
 

I could be wrong, but I think you can only retrofit a ship up to 150% of it's original value.

One way to get around this is to retrofit a ship multiple times. Just do it in smaller increments, and the appropriate repairs will add on at the end.

I'm sure that by doing a search on the forums you'll find a better answer.

Re: Can\'t retrofit.
 

From 13 to 14 kt minerals should hardly be more than 150%. Also, Ruatha mentioned that he did NOT get the message "can't build an entire new ship" which hints at that mistake.

300k+ of every resorce - stored? Remember, retrofit happens *before* income.

I guess that is 300 000 KT as it only says 300 000 on the Empire status screen.

Looks like a bug to me, a very annoying one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . May be a good idea to report it to MM, hoping that this will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

Re: Can\'t retrofit.
 

Puzzling. All retrofits are not happening? or just the one design. Try redesigning the ship under a different name and dumping the first one. Sounds like maybe the new design is corrupted somehow.

Slick.

Re: Can\'t retrofit.
 

Is this a mod Ruatha, or stock? What components are you changing in the design. Any chance we could look at the gamefile, or is this a MP game you don't want people to see.

Re: Can\'t retrofit.
 

Hi.
It's all designs, Tried different designs different turns.
Changed differnet components.
Thi sturn I'm trying a retrofit with only changing ECM1 to ECM 3, will see if it works on next turn (in two days or so)..

It's on PBW - Newbie Galactic Combat 3, using the No-Ai mod.
As PBW admin, feel free to check out the latest turn.
My password is registred on PBW, or if you want I can mail it to you.

Ruatha, I have looked at the turn. I have a couple questions but I don't want to give away game info. I will PM you.

Yep.
I think Geo has the answer.
Will try the solution and if it's valid I'll post it here in a couple of days (After the orders I submit in the next turn has been carried out).
