Upgrading Freighters on Trade Routes

May 18, 2006 3:09:31 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Is there a way to upgrade my freighters that are already assigned on a trade route to newer models with fasters engines?

I see that I can click on the tiny ships on the trade route, but the upgrade option is unavailable like it normally is for other ship.

Thanks in advance.

Theres no point upgrading freighter engines for those already on routes, the mini-freighters only move 1 anyway.
I think you could fill them with engines to get them there quicker, then upgrade them to have weapons and armour (incase they get attacked) before starting the route. I think it might get on the AI's goat a little having a percived Attack ship hanging around there worlds for multiple turns at a time though.
Also I seem to remember from a post a while ago, If you upgrade a ship of the same model not on a route yet and check the "upgrade all ships of this type" box it will upgrade the ships on routes. I haven't tried it, if it works lets me know.

Now that I think about it, maybe you can build another freighter of the same type and using the upgrade all ships of this type function if you wanted to arm them. I have no idea if it would work on freighters on a route or how it might affect the route if it did allow it, but I'd be interested to know if it works.

It doesn't. All trade route freighters can only have a speed of 1.

Only thing I was wondering is why I'm asked if I want to decomission my existing freighters (the ones already on trade tours) ...

I guess thats just the way the game works, it asks if you want to upgrade all ships of that same class or not.

Hmm, there is something missing. What I wanted to say is, GalCiv asks me if I want to decomission freighters that are already on routes as mini-freighters whenever I declare a model obsolete in the shipyard.
I never answered yes and I'm wondering, if already established trade routes would disappear.

Sorry, stupid me!
