Disband damages ships... - 12/15/2006 8:54:29 PM

Season's Greetings.

When I disbanded a fleet of DMS and DD, approximately 10 ships in the TF, the next turn all went from say 3 sys damage to 15-20 sys damage. This is only at Pearl Harbor. Disbanding at all other bases and no damage occurs. It does not occur to TKs etc...
So far I've noticed it occurs to CA, CL, DD, DMS.

Is this a bug or is there some legitimate reason for this?

Thanks

Gibbons

It sounds like they were due for an upgrade. You take about that much system damage when you upgrade destroyers.

If ships are due for upgrade (it is later than the Next Upgrade date for the ship) and upgrade is turned on, if you disband a TF in a port with a repair shipyard, the ships will automatically upgrade the next turn. The ships will take on some system damage to reflect the ship being torn apart for the upgrades. The larger the ship, the smaller the damage. CVs and BBs tend to take on around 5 damage. Smaller ships usually get more than 10, usually around 15 damage.

Thanks for the responses. Yes they are upgrading, that is the reason.

I'm a newb and this my first full game so things like this come along and don't make sense. I checked the update dates on a few ships and disbanded and they took sys damage but others didn't.

Thanks again. Good to know there is a place to go to get quick answers.

The reason the other ships didn't upgrade is because the port must have a ship repair facility.

Plus the ships have to have 5 or less systems damage already.
