I think Phoenix-D was saying to
total the repair ability amount of all components and facilities in the sector, not to add the ability
to all components and facilities.
tbontob, your idea can work in non-simultaneous games. Retrofits are done immediately (not the repairs, though), so you can retrofit through a progression of several designs in one turn. In simultaneous, though, any (new) order on the Scrap/Analyze/Retrofit window cancels all previous orders (including other Scrap/Analyze/Retrofit orders). You have to wait until next turn to issue the next retrofit order.
