Retrofit Question

[Greybeard]

I am trying to do a retrofit. The original design costs a total of 14.56k and the new design costs a total of 20.92k. This is less than a 50% increase in vessel cost. However the cost of the retrofit is more than 50% of the original cost.

The "failure notice" states that the there can only be a maximum difference of 50% of the cost. Does this mean the cost of the retrofit and not of the designs?

Thanks...Greybeard

Is this in a mod? The max cost difference is just the difference in vehicle design costs. What are the exact costs?

First ship: 11k , 1k, 1.56k
2nd ship: 18k , 1k, 1.92k

Also, it's stock 1.84...

Ooops...

11 + 1 + 1.56 = 13.56

18 + 1 + 1.92 = 20.92

13.56 * 1.5 = 20.34.

20.92 is greater than 13.56 * 1.5 which is why the retrofit is failing.

Uh huh. 18 / 11 = 1.63?

aaah... I see. Thanks for clearing that up Slick.

Thanks Slick.
I added incorrectly and got 14.56 for the first ship. Maybe that's why I dropped being a math major 27 years ago...Greybeard

It is total resource cost that can not differ by more than 50%, not each resource individually.

so you can only *pulls out a tiny little calculater* add 16% to the ships value in each mineral? well, i suppose it cuts down on fast building. *tugs at a wisker* but it kind of makes retrofitting useless for some stuff.
