Retrofit Lab/Hulls

Information

 * The Retrofit Lab enhances the capability of nearly all Forsaken and Draconian Hulls to adapt to present level of technology Retrofit Lab also researches improvements to armor, weapons, and specials.
 * For many research upgrades within the lab, you need copious amounts of Uranium (Ur), the scarcest resource in the game! Missions yield 25K Ur if you get to T4 (one of the best reasons to participate in each weekly mission).
 * Upgrades from the Retrofit Lab for specific hulls are applied to all hulls previously built, as well as hulls that will be built in the future, essentially upgrading the Full Blueprint for that hull permanently.
 * New label at battle scene show retrofit level as "R1", "R2", "R3","R4", & "R5" after the hull name. For example level 5 retrofitted mercury will show as "Mercury - [R5]". Retro Level 5 Hulls have a different paint job to "show off" their elite status. Many hulls, like the SCX and NC can be retro-fitted up to 10!
 * Retrofitting Drac technology also and of course requires lots of Uranium An Armor Expert Officer reduces hull refit time by 10%. This time gain is significant, week after week.
 * With the Drac Hulls you need many tens of thousands of Uranium resources to retrofit them; e.g., a NC hull takes about 220K Ur to get to R5 from zero!
