Bing!!!!<============lightbulb!

What you guys seem to imply is that I can give all the instructions needed to retrofit a ship in one turn.

Using Fyron's example...

In year 2500.0, I give a series of upgrade orders for the following.

X A costs 6667 / 1.5 = 4445
X B costs 10000 / 1.5 = 6667
X C costs 15000 / 1.5 = 10000
X D costs 15000

I can then forget about it and then four turns later, I have a design X ship. True/Not true?

Up till now, I have been retrofitting the ship each turn.
