How do I retrofit more than one ship?

I select one ship and the retrofit order is available.

But when I select more than one identical ship the retrofit order is not.

Retrofitting entire fleets is thus a bit of a chore.

A global option would be cool. Accessible from the design screen maybe, "retrofit all ships of this class". And the fleet screen "retrofit fleet". And from the ship list "retrofit". I think in general more commands should be available from the list screens instead of just the context menu...

Wow, I like this one! The retrofitting and production UI are really clumsy, so this would help a LOT.

We are planning to add mass-retrofitting, but right now you do have to do it ship by ship.

could you please also add a auto-retrofit of automated units?
Maybe with an option, that every ship only gets retrofitted every 3 - 4 new designs, this way will not totally abandon all of your defense ships.
Also only auto-retrofit when there are shipyards free / only x things in queue, where X is constructionslots/2
