Retrofit to cheaper design?

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!
