Overhauls

An overhaul is a complete repair, and can only be performed at a Construction Dock. Every damaged system is removed and replaced with new components, and the hull is fully refurbished. The vessel emerges as if it were brand new. As you can imagine, this is fairly expensive. It costs one-half the cost of the ship and its refits to overhaul and takes half the time normally required to build such a unit (no rounding, max of one turn). New refits may be applied during the overhaul. Simply add the value of the refit to the cost of the overhaul, and the procedures are done simultaneously.

Ships missing sections or warp engines in addition to being crippled must have those sections rebuilt as per the Repair rules, plus an overhaul. However, the overhaul cost is reduced to the cost of the surviving section.

An overhaul performed in an FRD away from a shipyard incurrs an extra cost of 10EP.
