Bingeling -> RE: Auto-retrofit (10/15/2014 8:58:46 AM)

The prompt to retrofit is the AI adviser. It is what the AI would do, and what it will suggest. It is usually a bad idea to accept this beyond the very early stages of a game, since everyone may head for retrofit at once. It will also potentially have the AI upgrade the size of your spaceports.
The retrofit on/off is whether to include the ships of the design in the AI suggestion, and whether to automatically upgrade ships to new designs.
It should also decide whether ships of that designs are told to retrofit (or refuel) if a fleet they are members of is told to retrofit (or you select the ship with other ships in the ship list and tell all of them to retrofit). If you have "special designs" for a few ships, like a specialist exploration ship, make sure to turn off automatic retrofit on that design.
If you want to "retrofit all", try to open the ship list, make sure it is not filtered, press ctrl-a to select all, then press retrofit. It should do pretty much the same as accepting an AI suggested retrofit (with the added benefit that your small spaceport will remain small even if there is a large population on the planet).
I use the ship list to do things like "retrofit all spaceports and defensive bases" and "retrofit non-fleeted military ships". Control-click, shift-click and ctrl-a are useful windows shortcuts working in the ship list.
