it could help with things like the romulan refits, and maybe, like blade said, nebula variants. 

I would love to have more sub-buildable refits for ships already in the game.  It would make them more useful for different situations, like being able to build an excelcior faster sacrificing weapons range, or build  a ship cheaper, with lower tech on board and no ability to gain veterain statous.  Things like that would add a whole different level of game play and micro management.

yep there will be solutions for things like refits. in 3.1.2, for example, the Romulan refits are directly buildable at the yards, once researched (you may, of course, still upgrade existing vessels)

That will be nice.

yeah it makes sense that they would sometimes build a ship directly with all refits in place.

will refits cost time aswell as resources

The Refits buildable from the yard should cost the same amount as one refitted in the field, but they will take the same amount of time to construct as an undifferentiated base unit

Do you mean Refit or Refit+Base for the cost?

i meant from ship->refit

I meant Refit+base for cost of course
