The way I read the host order if I had a ship with Mk1 torp...

The way I read the host order if I had a ship with Mk1 torp tubes on it and I set the Mission to Super Refit which loads Mk7 tubes onto my ship, I could use mkt to make mk7 torps at the same time. Anyone know this for certain?

I believe it is the case because mkt happens right after Super Refit in the host order.

why don't you build the mk7s at the base? afaik 'super refit' should be loading torps, too ;)

Loading Torps happens after movement and I was hoping to Super Refit and move to another planet this turn, but I would like to have torps :>

no, the super refit mission loads them, doesn't it

No I don't think it does.
Been a while since I played Feds but I don't recall torps being loaded by super refit.

You don't even have to have torp tubes. I build a torpless Nebula, later super-refit it to T8, order to fly to another planet and 'mkt' to convert cargo and carried MC into torps.

Important thing to remember is that you have to manually compute the amount of MC needed, and that (if you have no tubes) cannot select 'mkt' from the FC list; but you /can/ just type it yourself

Brilliant. I look forward to providing a surprise to someone :>

test setting:
turn 1 build of a nebula with tw xray no tubes,
turn 2 build 4 mk7 tubes, 12 torps, set nebula to move away and super refit.

Huh...that's actually surprisingly convenient.

thought the same, siggi.. should planets be user friendly?

This is pretty much the first instance that I have seen.
Most of planets is pretty counter-intuitive :)

Does that mean, you can set superrefit without refitting new tubes, while moving away from a starbase and have only your torps loaded? And lay mines, then arrive at another base with load torps mission and have your cargo loaded with torps again?
And you can do that even at allies bases?

super refit is a ship mission, lay mines and super refit won't work at the same time.. but yes, if you have the tubes (a full set) already installed you should be able to tkae up torps - the lowest id though...

but that leads me to another question: i have never read anywhere that super refit would not work at foreign bases. has ever anyone tried it out with a matching fcode?
