Bleek -> Research station won't retrofit? (8/30/2012 1:13:17 PM)

Odd one, I've created an 'armed' research station.

I've clicked on my High Tech station and there's a retrofit button, I click it, nothing happens?

I have sufficient funds.

Any ideas? [&:]

Have you tried right-clicking it and seeing if there is a retrofit to specific design option there?



Bleek -> RE: Research station won't retrofit? (8/30/2012 2:00:38 PM)

No it doesn't give me a right-click option to retrofit.

It shows me the retrofit button in the bottom left panel though?

The revised design doesn't have any warnings or issues that I can see and saved fine.

Hmmm.

I was under the impression that you could only retrofit a base if it was below a colony.

Strange I never noticed that button before Bleek and yes it does not accept the retrofit order in the selection panel. Retrofit is disabled also in the ships or bases screen.

Glad it's not just me then!

I guess I have to dismantle/destroy and re-build it.

Pipewrench is right - You can retrofit only those stations which are built over Your own colonies. Even if others stations have the option "Retrofit" You still may not use that. Or better said - You may use that button but he will do nothing. Scraping such base and building a new one is the only way You may retrofit it (the way You did).

It wouldn't make sense if you could just retrofit it simply by ordering it to do so. A retrofit means you are changing components, and components cost resources. A research station isn't carrying any resources. A retrofit would require the aid of a construction ship, at the very least, regardless of whether you have sufficient cash or not.



Bleek -> RE: Research station won't retrofit? (9/1/2012 3:27:09 PM)

Well the button for retrofitting is there so one would assume it queues a construction ship but it doesn't.
