Retrofit in PBEM games

You can retrofit multiple ships, but i can only get it to work if they all get fitted to the same class. I believe the culprite to be the order screen, when you order a retrofit you select the ship to be retrofitted then hit the retrofit button and select the class to retrofit to, if you then go back and try to retrofit the next type of ship you wipe out the previous order to retrofit.

Well, I was trying to retrofit my little Rage I ships to Rage II ships. Small escorts. The only change was uranium cannon I to uranium cannon II. My planet that had a full construction que never retorofitted a single ship, wether I told it to do one or multiple.
My other planet would only retrofit one at a time, no matter how I instructed it to do it.

I have found that you can only retrofit ONE ship a turn per planet in a PBEM game. This includes un-mothballing and scraping as well.

It seems that you can only do very limited actions during a multi-player game.

Hi!
To aussie gamer:

yes you're right with this....and it's very annoying, as you need years to retrofit a 20 ship fleet or so. sure you can split your ships and refit them at different shipyard but that takes very much time as well.
i currently build base shipyards all around my planet(one in each sector), so i have specialized "retrofit systems", hehe
