Retrofit cost formulae ?

[alasyr]

Does anyone know how is retrofit cost calculated ? My hunch would be that you have to pay the diference in resources between tnew and current design.

According to the data files, you pay 10% of any components that need to be removed, and 70% of any components that need to be added.

Yes, it does mean you actually pay less to build a basic ship hull and add the other stuff later, if you can do so without running into the 50% limit when retrofitting.
