Status: offline 		The following is an excellent thread re using ports without a repair shipyard to upgrade ships that requires a size 0 repair shipyard (the info also appears in the faq).
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2489860

Although the exact formula is unknown per Don (which is, of course, okay/not a big deal) does anyone have any additional insights from gameplay experience re calculating what size ports you need and combination of support to upgrade "size 0 repair shipyard required" ships?

E.g., Don gives an example, but I do not understand how a lvl 5 port + no naval support + an AR = can only upgrade yard size 0 ships up to 18,800 tons.

Not looking for an exact answer, but rather a "rule of thumb" or other examples that work.

Thanks!

I think some of the CL and AS class ships have size 0 shipyard upgrades too, but usually I operate them medium size ports anyway.

Most of those "0" yard upgrades are when you changing small guns etc. It is nothing that can be done with few man, small lift and rope

Doh! Thanks, I forgot - I am sure that was the problem.

Status: offline 		The caveat for upgrading in a port without shipyard requirement is that: port size^3 * 100 has to be larger than the vessels tonnage.

Don't try to find it in the manual, it's not there. But it has been confirmed by a dev.
