But what about 100 dreadnaughts in various stages to becoming superior dreadnaughts in the same amount of time that it would take to build the 30?
As for micromanagment, I can understand those who hate it not wanting to use this. But then like everything else in SEIV you can also turn it on automatic. I havent tested it but I suspect that if its turned on, that the ship upgrades would still have to walk up the same line of ships that I have designed due to the 50% rule. If I have 4 levels of dreadnaughts then the minister would still do them in order and probably catch the ones that can be upgraded alot better than I can.

Well the problem I can see with that at least imo is that I would have 30 reliably superior dreadnoughts while you would have a hodge podge of ships that are inferior annd some that are equal and some that are dramaticaly inferior and in the midst of battle your best ships might not get into the fight till it's too late and you may lose.
Especially because at any given time you may only have a small handful of ships that are up to specs to my 30 dreads and they may not be up to specs in the same areas (I.E. they may have equal weapons but inferior shields and be crippled before they can get involved. Or they may have equal shields but inferior weapons and not do enough damage and end up getting torched by a concentrated volley of superior weapons).
I'd still take my 30 to your 100
then again that's just me I'm sure others would prefer your way but I prefer a stable reliable fleet to a hodge podge of various upgrade phases.
AND that's not taking into account....what happens to you if since your retrofitting so much my 30 dreadnoughts are on the move (being that they need no retrofit) and they stumble across your 100 ships while many of them are retrofitting? It'd be a turkey shoot
