Can't retrofit.

I could be wrong, but I think you can only retrofit a ship up to 150% of it's original value.

One way to get around this is to retrofit a ship multiple times. Just do it in smaller increments, and the appropriate repairs will add on at the end.

I'm sure that by doing a search on the forums you'll find a better answer.

From 13 to 14 kt minerals should hardly be more than 150%. Also, Ruatha mentioned that he did NOT get the message "can't build an entire new ship" which hints at that mistake.

300k+ of every resorce - stored? Remember, retrofit happens *before* income.

Yep 300 000 of each stored, and positive income on each resource to boost!

I guess that is 300 000 KT as it only says 300 000 on the Empire status screen.

Yes, of course it's kT, resources are always given in kT.

Looks like a bug to me, a very annoying one

. May be a good idea to report it to MM, hoping that this will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

Puzzling. All retrofits are not happening? or just the one design. Try redesigning the ship under a different name and dumping the first one. Sounds like maybe the new design is corrupted somehow.

Is this a mod Ruatha, or stock? What components are you changing in the design. Any chance we could look at the gamefile, or is this a MP game you don't want people to see.

Hi.
It's all designs, Tried different designs different turns.
