I assume you mean a pop-up message that let's you know when you make a research breakthrough? You can already enable those messages in the Game Options screen. You can click on the message whena research breakthrough occurs and it will open the relevant tech tree with the new tech highlighted in red.

These messages will also show up in your message history (H key)

Status: offline 		Elliott, Thanks for the respose. The pop up requester offering the option to pay for the upgrades doesn't specify what the payment is payng for just that the upgrades from research can be applied. This is not the pop-up advising of the breakthrough. There are often more than one breakthrough. Please advise.

How about if we included a list of breakthroughs that affected ship components since the last retrofit? Would that give enough info?

I believe that there was a total cost for upgrades in the message, but I'm not sure if it's still there (I have some messaging disabled).

Status: offline 		You're right but if it could identify which breakthroughs are included in the cost separately it would be helpful. Some times the breakthroughs come fast. Bob Viener

Just to explain further: we can add a list of research breakthroughs that triggered the suggestion for a mass-retrofit. You can then decide whether to proceed or not.

The retrofit trigger occurs when new designs become available due to new components being researched. It's not really possible to selectively include/exclude components in these new designs from this advisor pop-up.

If you need greater control than that, you can handle retrofits yourself with the mass-retrofit button in the Ships and Bases screen.
