Currently the physical process of retrofitting a ship is a bit awkward.



If you want to upgrade a fleet or ship, you have to memorize the fleet name, go into the fleet list, scroll until you find it, select that fleet, and then you can upgrade it's ships.



Suggestion:

Put a button for retrofitting ships near the fleet listings on the main map, next to the buttons for Colonize, Attack & Invade.

By "It" I guess you are referring to the Retrofit button? If so, then no, currently the only way to retrofit is by going into the Fleet List and finding your fleet.

True, but doing it on the fly? ships you want to upgrade should have to be sent back to the systems shipyard inorder to upgrade depending on the systems industrial output.

well...yeah, you can do it in systems that are still just outposts with a single population? it desent really make sence that you can re fit entire fleets at some backwater outpost.

it does seem a little odd to be able to pay and get all those guns and upgrades delivered to whatever outpost you want to refit whatever sized sleet you have.... but I guess that is what you pay for with a retrofit? Maybe the price should vary between outposts and planets that are fully yours....



But anyway, a button would be a must no matter the cost. having to do it through the fleet menu is annoying at best

it would also be more helpful to make it more prominant having to search where this option was a complete suprise.
