Retrofit Problems

[Parasite]

First off, look to see if you have the "Wrench" icon on your damaged and retrofitted ships. This means they are in a sector with repair capability. If you retrofitted them, that location must have a shipyard at least. If there is no "Wrench" icon, you will need to move the ships to a repair center, or move a repair center to the ships.

Take care if you upgrade the repair bases. If you do, they will be damaged and not add to the repair total. The default repair priority puts them close to last in line to get fixed as well.

If there is no wrench, they will not get repaired, and you must do something in-game to get a wrench to appear.

If there is a wrench, check again to see the numbers that are being repaired, especially the repair bases there if they were upgraded.

The lowest repair ability is still 50%. You can see what yours is by looking at the "My Empire" section of the aliens, or in the "Abilities" section of ships or planets and adding up all the bonuses.

Also, there is an old topic on repair breaking in the game. I bumped it. (The link was a long one.)
