Ship Upgrades

[Eagle D. Foqus]

Greetings mad scientists of interstellar technology.

I've run into a minor issue where I have way too many lower end ships and need to downsize my fleet but provide higher end ship to get the most efficiency out of my fleet. Right now, the only option I have is to demolish ships and rebuild the upgraded ones.

So here's my suggestion:
As new tech opens up, I often create update versions of the ship I design. I would like to go into a green space a of a given system and "upgrade" a ship of the same type paying a fraction of the cost and cp.

Thanks for the suggestion. This is very unlikely something we will ever support in the game. We are looking at ways that experience crews from demolished ships will move among the other ships in the fleet and you won't lose the XP, but you will need to rebuild. If you look at Star Traders RPG, the same concept applies. The super-structure of a ship is not upgraded to become a new ship, and many upgrades and weaponry, once installed can never be removed.
