                              Command : UPGRADE

 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : upgrade <SHIPS>

The upgrade command allows you to upgrade older ships to the current  technol-
ogy level.  You must specify a list of ships to upgrade.

Each ship to be upgraded must be in one of your functioning harbors, each ship
must be owned by you, and the ship must be at least 60% efficient.  The harbor
must have an available workforce of half the size it would take to  build  the
ship from scratch.

Refitting a ship costs half as much as building a new  one  from  scratch  and
reduces  the  efficiency of the ship by 35%.  Refitting a ship does not use up
any materials.
