Retrofit Order revocation

1) Payment is made upfront for all the refits at the turn of 2500.0 to 2500.1
2) All ships then have "craters" where the new components are to be inserted. These "craters" signify components that need to be repaired.
3) In any turn (edit: including the turn from 2500.0 to 2500.1), the number of components that actully replace these "craters" depends upon the number of component repair facilities available.

Exactly.

Taking an absurd scenario... the major refitting 100 Baseships at a planet which has only 1 shipyard. No choice but to watch 10+ years slip by, as the refit grindingly proceeds with the refit of one starship after another?

You can build a bunch of space yards with 3 retrofit comps each in them. Each of those will retorfit a lot of comps. I have had big games where I park 4 or 5 of these over my an important planet and it can repair a considerable sized fleet in one turn.
