Re: Retrofit to cheaper design?
If all the components are identical, then it won't let you retrofit...
Otherwise, it would only be an insufficient funds or the 150% value thing.

Re: Retrofit to cheaper design?
It sounds like you are playing a simultaneous move game. In those games, you will see nothing after giving retrofit and scrap orders. You have to wait until the next turn after the orders have been processed to see the Messages in the log.

Boy, is my face red! 
Yes, it was a simultaneous move game. I can't believe I have not seen this before. Have I really not done any retrofitting in our multiplayer games before? I guess not.
I did not realize that retrofitting works differently in simultaneous. No message or anything, just a "Retrofit" order for the ship. I found that one of the ships (which I had not moved after attempting to retrofit) is now actually retrofitted as I wanted, while another one (which I loaded up with some satellites and sent off on a mission after the retrofit apparently failed) has now generated a log message that it could not retrofit because it has cargo in it.
D'oh!

Hmm? I'm pretty sure I have been able to retrofit to identical designs.

I can confirm from experience that SJ is right on this one.
