Retrofit to cheaper design?
Will the game not allow you to retrofit to a cheaper design? This doesn't seem to be addressed in the FAQ; it only mentions the 150% limit on more expensive designs.
In a new game this evening, I had some small transport ships that each carried a couple of APB2s (we started on Medium Tech so had these already without researching). I then researched Physics up to level 2, then started researching PPBs. Once I had the PPBs researched to about level 3 I think, I tried to retrofit some of those transports to replace the old APBs with new PPBs. The game would not allow the retrofit, but did not give me any message explaining why not. I did notice that the new design was slightly cheaper in resource cost than the old design, and this is the only thing I have thought of that might have prevented the retrofit.
I can go back into that game later and get the exact details of the two designs, but it was a multiplayer with my son and that other computer is in use right now for homework.
