Re: Upgrading ships, etc?
Is there any way to retrofit Weapons Platforms and other Units? They don't show up on the Scrap window list. Satellites in orbit can be scrapped, but not retrofitted.
I know I can transfer the older models to cargo transports to make room to build newer models, but I hate to just jettison them.

Re: Upgrading ships, etc?
Sorry. Units cannot be retrofitted. It is the price you pay for *not* paying maintenance. Plus, units can be constructed at any planet without first building some other facility such as a space yard.

Also watch out for standard armor getting "upgraded" to Emissive Armor. And regular Shield V's (300 pts. each, IIRC) being upgraded to Phased Shield I's (75 pts. each, IIRC).

Re: Upgrading ships, etc?
I have also seen components randomly added when I did an upgrade....so, when you do an upgrade on an existing ship design, look it over carefully and make sure that you got what you expected.

They fixed a couple of those in the 1.19 patch (specifically, small armor was being upgraded to small combat sensors or vice versa). You might want to document any others you've found & send them to MM...

Re: Upgrading ships, etc?
One possible snafu - I noticed after upgrading a unit that I was told I needed to repair the upgraded component. Unfortunately, I had not yet researched repair!

Re: Upgrading ships, etc?
Ah. But you *do* have a shipyard/spaceyard, or did, anyway -- you needed one to refit. Both the facility and the component can repair damaged components; Repair tech just gets you a smaller, more efficient repair component.
