Hi all,



perhaps it's allready existing, but i didn't find how to do it...



I've got a Defender, basic...



then i find a new armor and create a new design, called Defender 2.



i can create Defender 2 now, but i wanted to upgrade my defender with the new Defender 2 upgrade...



it could be done by paying some Dust for each ship upgraded ( depend of the upgrade done )





if we look in real life, ship of the navy ( military ) are always upgraded with new components... they are not stuck always with the same weapons, if a new canon is discovered, it could be adapted on the oldest battleship without to put it in scrap.



what do you think ?

Its already in the game. Open the Military Menu on the Right is the Design panel but on the left are your existing fleets. Klick on them and at the bottom is a Button called retrofit.

To be able to retrofit you need to modify the template. If you create a new one you won't be able to retrofit.

So if you want to upgrade your defender template, modify it, then you can retrofit all old templates of defender.

Ah, I knew there must be a way to do that, I just couldn't figure out how. Thanks for the info.

Also, make sure that your ship is in one of your star systems, because they can't be retrofitted otherwise.

One thing I've discovered so far is that there are a number of things that I think a majority of people will miss out on simply because they just don't notice it or will come across it in their time playing. Retrofitting was something I didn't discover until my second playthrough. Haha. But I am glad we have this forum..because we can ask these seemingly stupid questions, get answers, and not feel too dumb. :P

I've even had a few people join the official Steam group chat just to ask me questions. I really didn't think I'd know the answer but surprisingly, I've caught on to a few things. lol.

it's safe to say we're all learning




Yep. Searched for that function all the time. I knew it existed and didn't find it. Thanks SubSeven for finally pointing it out to me! XD

Retrofitting is good. But there need to be a way to retrofit ship directly from the main screen, when you select a fleet (at the moment you have to go to ship screen)

You are welcome.

maybe you can do that but what you CANT do is REPAIRING YOUR SHIPS




Well Ships repair automatically as long as they are in your system, by a small percentage per Turn. Also you can use the Battlecard in Fights to repair you ships.
