1.3.3 To change a ship's current orders, use Clear Orders (hotkey Delete) first.

Repairs and Retrofitting
========================

1.4.1 A damaged ship will be repaired if it is in the same sector as a planet with a Space Yard facility, or a ship or base with a Repair Bay or Space Yard component.

1.4.2 The order in which repairs are performed is set with (F11) Empire Status/Repair Priorities. Clearing the priorities list will leave only the component types that you have the technology to build; more entries become available when you research the corresponding techs.

1.4.3 Ships and bases can be retrofitted to another design at a spaceyard. The Retrofit option appears under Scrap/Analyze/Mothball (hotkey G). The new design must have the same hull size as the old one, and have a combined total cost in resources of no more than 150% of the old design. Designs more than 150% apart can be retrofitted by designing one or more intermediate Versions.

1.4.4 Units cannot be retrofitted. (capnq)

Remote Mining

(Somebody who uses this more than I do should write an entry for it.)
