My understanding of mothballing is that basically the ship is sealed off. If so, you cannot upgrade a ship and still have it sealed off.

Of course you could do so. It's not as though opening a ship to space is going to let any moisture or oxygen in to cause deterioration.

So, if we want to be really accurate, I guess we could build the spaceship, and then have the ship hang around the planet for a year while its crew are being trained (to the basic minimum) and only then venture out into deep space.[/QB]

Which is what happens, because mothballing removes crew experience. |

Espionage of course. There is no reason why a player must be honest in their political dealings. |

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
I can't take this any more. 
TD M is the TampaGamer- Daynarr- Mephisto-ModPack, and has nothing to do with this thread.
TD B is a bug in the Time Distortion Burst temporal weapon, which will be fixed in the next patch.
Deliberately misusing terms to confuse an argument is gamey.
[Edit] And IF types much faster than I do.
