Default Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!

I've never tried it, but figured this game might be a good place to give it a shot.

The basic idea is that to retrofit a ship to a new design, the new design can only cost so much more than the original (I think it's 125%). However, you can give a ship unlimited retrofit orders in a turn.

So you build the cheapest starbase that you can. Then retrofit to a design that costs 125% more, then on the same turn, you retrofit it to another design that costs 125% more than the first retrofit, etc. Viola, you have the starbases to build your sphereworld in a fraction of the time it takes to build them straight. The downside? It costs a ridiculous amount of resources to do this, since you're paying for each retrofit.
