Stellar manip and movement in simultaneous game

[ToddT]

I think your over looking a little detail, i think retrofit occurs before ship under construction completes. constructed items complete at end of turn, retrofit occurs at begining, so its possible under your test id gets reassigned to the retrofitshiped, if id's do change with retrofit. joachims sm ship has been around since before turn 66 i know his 4 ships other than the sm where designed and built afterward. There may be a ship or two of mine that predates it but not likely.

Douglas, how are you testing Ship ID#. This isn't something that is visible is it?

ToddT, your assumption seems to be that retrofit changes ship ID becasue you believe that Joachims ship predated "most if not all" of your ships that got away. However, if Douglas is correct, you'd have to be 100% sure that all your ships were newer than Joachims. Not just some, but all, since according to his info the fleet moves with the lowest ID ship. You are positive that you didn't have any ships in that fleet that had been around for a while in the game? An old LC that you had brought up to date or something?
