Mothballing, retrofit etc in simultanous games !

[Ruatha]

I use to retrofit several ships of the same class at once at the same shipyard.

As to unmothball I can do as many as I can afford.
you're not running out of resources?
What message regarding the unmothball do you get?

1 ship class to retrofit, unmothball I do different classes multiple ships at the same time.
I once unmothballed 55 ships ranging from frigates to battleships and carriers(empty) at the same turn at one planet with one spaceyard in simultaneous.

I only play simultaneous MP games.

You do have to have the resources in storage at the time, too... The retrofitting and unmothballing happens before your resource income from the next turn.

I'm with you, Ruatha. I also only play simultaneous.

Only my treasury total, is the deciding factor in un-mothballing. But I usually Mothball judiciously anyway.

By the time I have numerous Ships to retrofit I usually have a good repair tech, with 5 or more BSY’s and a RBS (Repair Base Station) orbiting my Home World or forward military base.

Is it best to retrofit often, or don’t until one has numerous tech upgrades and then do it less frequent?

I too play only simultaneous and have never had a problem mothballing, unmothballing and retrofitting as many ships as I can afford... and of any and all designs. But now you have me worried. I'll be watching closely in future.

Ah, Its probably that my rad storage is real low right now if mothballing happens before the turns resources are harvested. I am getting no Messages in the log as to why the unmothballing is not happening.

Thanks
