Default Re: possible bug: refitting multiple ships in multiplayer

I've also noticed the "bug?" when trying to refit more than one ship at a time. It also seems to occur w/ scrapping, if i remember right.

The pop-up message for a failed refit looks just the same as a success message. Are you sure you didn't just click on the failure message and continue on, expecting it to be a success message? Maybe these boxes ought to be a different color...

Remember, the new design can not cost more than 50 percent over the design being upgraded, and you need to have enough of every type of resource on hand to pay for it.

I've retro' multiple ships at least a dozen times without any problems. If you can recreate the failure, saved game and send it in.

I noticed this problem in one game I was playing. However I noticed it in a simultaneous game. Were these problems in a simultaneous game. This really should be noted in all bug reports since I think the two styles work a little differently.

Thanks for the feedback.

This is a simultaneous game.
The refit in question does not cost more than 50% since I am just upgrading direct firect weapons to the new level I achieved.

I can recreate this bug every frigging turn. I am losing turns that my ships could do something else.

I will send it in to Aaron

One suggestion that I thought about but have not tried.

Try to upgrade each ship individually. Open the retrofit window and retorfit one. Then close it down and reopen to refit the next one. This might be a work around to make it work. Its possible that the problem is that the program only sees only one refit each time the screen is opened. Since the rules work differently from turn-based

Worth a try, even though it is more work, I think.
