PBW: My ships can't move

[Gorgo]

Hi,
I have a weird problem in one of my PBW games: My ships can't move! They have engines and everything, but I think since I've started retrofitting one of them and stopped it the next turn, they don't do anything anymore. (I've tried it with the attack order, now I'm checking the move to order). I'm in war with my neighbour and my ships do nothing!

Who has an idea?

if you retrofitted your engines and have none left, you are dead in space until they can be repaired.

do they say movement 0/0 or 0/6 or 6/6 or what? do they look like a base and not have a moveto order or a movement measurement?

Also, remember that a fleet will only go as fast as it's slowest ship, so if you have fleeted fully working ships with a space station (no movement) or a ship that's mid- retrofit (engines not yet repaired, no movement) then your good ships will be immobile.

I even tried to dissolve the fleet and move every ship on its own. Even the non-retrofitted ships don't move! With the ones I tried to retrofit, they have no repair sign on them, so I supposed they should be ready.

And they've definitely got engines? I've upgraded designs before now and accidentally omitted the engines.

Are you playing a mod with Newtonian motion?(ie Pirates and Nomads V2.*) It could be you have a large ship with not enough engines to move it.

Failing the explainations above, this is a toughie.
Can you answer the following?
Like Puke says, how much movement does it tll you you have?
What hull are you using for these ships?
What engines are you using on this design? Is this the first time you've used this engine/ hull in this game?

Possibly an intel op, causing one of your ships to lose movement, and thus, halting the entire fleet?
