Default Retrofit Question

I am trying to do a retrofit. The original design costs a total of 14.56k and the new design costs a total of 20.92k. This is less than a 50% increase in vessel cost. However the cost of the retrofit is more than 50% of the original cost.

The "failure notice" states that the there can only be a maximum difference of 50% of the cost. Does this mean the cost of the retrofit and not of the designs?

Thanks...Greybeard

Is this in a mod? The max cost difference is just the difference in vehicle design costs. What are the exact costs?

11 + 1 + 1.56 = 13.56

18 + 1 + 1.92 = 20.92

13.56 * 1.5 = 20.34.

20.92 is greater than 13.56 * 1.5 which is why the retrofit is failing.
