One more thing. I am sure you checked your retrofits for the 150% rule, but to be explicit, the 150% rule applies to the total retrofit which can only be seen in the retrofit screen . Total M+O+R is used as a basis before and after, however you can't just use raw cost of the 2 ships because of the cost to add and remove components (120% and 30% respectively from settings.txt).

I may be misunderstanding what you are trying to say here. If I am reading you correctly, you are incorrect. The penalty cost for adding and removing components is not a factor in the 150% rule. The only thing looked at for the 150% rule is the raw cost of the before and after designs.

However, when deciding if you have enough resources in your empire storage to actually perform the retrofit, then you have to take into consideration the install and removal penalty costs you mentioned. (The 120%/30% in the settings.)

If that is what you were saying and I am just misunderstanding you I appologize.
