I resently startet tinkering with ship and base design and some where along the way i lost the ability to upgrade star ports to larger variants.

I fairly certian i could do that in the begining anyway, but now i can only retrofit to the same size design, what am i doing wrong here?

Check that the design you want is not obsoleted; obsoleted designs do not appear on the upgrade menu.

Status: offline 		You have right clicked on the space port and took a look at the retrofit options right?

This sounds like finger trouble to me. If you cant figure it out upload the save and one of us will check it out.

But you cannot use the ship and base screen (F11) or the button in the lower left corner when the station is selected, Oh and awesome you can downgrade.


And also thanks for a great game.

The private sector stations are outside our control and we cannot upgrade them. SP tough should be upgradeable via this way as well.

You must let the builders put all the nuts and bolts together before you can tell em they got it wrong...

Status: offline 		That brings up an interesting point, maybe we should have a stop building option for cases like this so as not to wait for the first upgrade to be over in order to get to the next.
