Note that when upgrading the 50% is a factor of *each* resource not the total.
This is not correct.

50% of the total cost, minerals+organics+rads.
This is correct.

Just did a test and it looks like I was wrong. Retrofits are based on total resources after all. Must have been designing ships with too tight a margin for error and misattributed the problem.

My bad.

Don't feel too bad. I did the same thing on the Newbie FAQ thread. Makes me wonder if it wasn't like this once, though, maybe in pre-Gold.

Really good info guys.

Does anyone know how the retrofit surchagres are figured? Is it base surcharge, + removal, +install, and/or %?

According to this old thread, it's 10% of the cost of the removed components plus 70% of the cost of the new components.

Yep. Everything, that is, except important dates like your anniversary or your mother's birthday.
