Default Re: problems with massive retrofits

geoschmo said:Only problem is you have to watch carefully which ships you are retrofitting. You are supposed to stay in the current position in the list, but sometimes it jumps around. And if you lose your place there is no convienent way to know which ships you've already given the retrofit order to.
Ships that have been already set to retrofit have orders.
Those you haven't gotten to are idle.
If you click the ship, and the eyeball icon is "on", then the ship has orders, and if you click that, you'll see it says "Retrofit to Deathmonger Mk III" (example)

If your retrofit isn't going to replace your engines, you can even order the retrofit, then give move orders.

The ship will swap out the components and then run for it on the same turn. If you end your movement on a sector with repair, you can get the retro, move and repair all done in one turn.
Handy when you want to retrofit more than the local repair facilities can handle. And you don't waste a turn moving before starting the retrofit.

Actually, my PC is only worth about $250 Canadian these days.
To give you an idea, the case has a winME license sticker on it, (though I long ago upgraded to 98).
