Retrofit Order revocation

"give repair ability to every single"
Do you mean mod a facilty to have that ability?
Gives me an idea, (witch I'm sure is an old one), Create a "Engineering Section" that is: 1/4 size repair bay at say 1/4 the repair rate and 1/3 the cost. It would have the Ship Yard ability but would require self imposed control to only use it for retrofitting. This would be useful to simulate having a Federation Chief Engineer on board.

Pablo,
Not waiting till all craters are gone is a great idea. Thanks

I think Phoenix-D was saying to total the repair ability amount of all components and facilities in the sector, not to add the ability to all components and facilities.

tbontob, your idea can work in non-simultaneous games. Retrofits are done immediately (not the repairs, though), so you can retrofit through a progression of several designs in one turn. In simultaneous, though, any (new) order on the Scrap/Analyze/Retrofit window cancels all previous orders (including other Scrap/Analyze/Retrofit orders). You have to wait until next turn to issue the next retrofit order.

Gryphin, you you wouldn't need any self imposed control to limit it's use to only retrofits. You simply give it the construction ability, but with a zero value. That way it can't build anything. But anything with the construction ability can trigger a retrofit. Then you just need repair bays to do the repairs.

Gryphin: Uh, I didn't say that.

"Add the "repair" ability of every single ship, base, and planetary ship yard present. Multiply that by the repair rate in percent, i.e. 100% = 1, 80% = .8, 120% = 1.2, and so on."

"add" as in addition. That's a way to determine how many components you can repair in a given sector per turn.

Ah, thanks for the clarification and the informaiton.
So to mod a "Scotty" component you would give it a Ship Yard ability with Zero build and a repair bay with limited build, (perhaps 1 per turn). This would allow a ship to retro fit at the front lines.
Edit:
I wonder how to mod the Scottish accent.

Gryph, you ever played Devnullmod? It has something very much like this: An engineering section which grants limited construction /repair (I think), extra combat speed and an auxiliary control.

Write the description in a thick Scottish accent.
