This point is not specific to the Ultimate Mod, but to SE4 in general. What is the point of having this 50% rule?
Easy. Build cheap ship. Since it's cheap, it builds in one turn. Now make a ship, the same size, but MUCH more expensive. Retrofit the first ship to the second type; chances are the retrofit will be complete before the second ship.
It becomes a chessy way of speeding up the building process.
