[[The Solar Federation]] is the only [[race]] that can upgrade the [[tech levels]] of old [[starships]]. If a [[Federation]] [[[ship]] sets their [[mission]] to "Super Refit" and is at a [[Federation]] [[starbase]] for one [[turn]]. The chief engineer will remove the [[engines]], [[beam weapons]] and [[torpedo]] launchers and replace the [[components]] with the highest tech level [[components]] available from the [[starbase]]'s [[components]] inventory. If a higher tech [[components]] is not available the chief engineer will not swap [[components]]. Old [[components]] taken off the [[ship]] will be placed in storage. Super refit requires a full set of [[parts]] for the [[ship]] to work correctly.

The [[starbases]]' [[tech levels]] must be equal to or greater than the [[ship components]] being cloned.

To super refit a [[Nova Class]] you need at least 10 [[beams]] of any one type on the [[starbase]] and at least 10 [[torpedo]] tubes of any one type on the [[starbase]]. Normal [[ship]] building takes place before the super refit, so if some other [[ship]] uses the refitting ship's [[components]] before hand, the super refit will not take place and  the ship will be left with no weapons.

Overview

Friendly Codes cln Clone. Tells the Starbase that you own and are in orbit with to make an exact copy of the ship with this code. The starbases' tech levels must be equal to or greater than the ship components being cloned. This will in most cases cancel out the normal starship building on the starbase any turn that there is a starship with this code in orbit. The cost of cloning a ship (megacredits) is 200% of the original cost of building the ship. The Privateers and Crystals can not clone. You can not clone ships that your race can already build.

The Ship Limit

Once the games 500 ship limit is reached no more cloning can take place. If you have more than 20 Priority Build Points you can both build a normal ship at a starbase while you are also cloning the ship.

Notes

The warp speed and waypoint of any ship that is being cloned (has the friendly code to cln) is set to 0 during the movement phase of the game.
