Retrofit Q

Is the one component a SY ?

There is a special rule prohibiting retrofitting SY components to non SY ships.

Nope, it's actually just replacing a component with an upgraded Version of the same type of component.

Just to point out, when retrofitting the game takes the cost of the refit from stores then adds your surplus after that. You may have enough "surplus" to replace resources used but it won't work if there are not enough resources in storage to pay for it.

Hmmm...ok, well, this Last turn I tried refitting only one of the three ships at once...maybe that will work, if so, then I'll have a better idea of why, and it is probably the reason you state...

thanks,

Let's just hope it isn't the infamous convert issue.

I once didn't understand why I couldn't retrofit ships when I had a multitude of resources in storage...
It turned out that one planet had a convert resources order on repeat, converted all orgs to rads, then it tried to retrofit, WHAT NO ORGS!! Cant't retrofit!
The resources from planets and trade then came in and when I open the turn it hasn't retrofitted and I have full resources in storage for all three resource types!!
I thought it was a bug, sen't it to Malfador Machinations and they told me to check my orders... a bit embarrasing..

Question: how can a planet have repeat orders to convert resources?? I didn't think that was possible. is there some advanced way to give orders that I'm not aware of?
