repair shipyard and upgrades

[crsutton]

I am modifying one of the smaller scenarios. The manual suggest that it is possible to have ships go to, say Tokyo, off map for repairs and upgrades. (as you could do in UV) However, I do not see that this is possible in the South Pacific scenario (#4). Is it possible to edit this capability into a small scenario?

If not, I would like to give Truk and Brisbane limited shipyards. If I place shipyards in Truk and Brisbane and turn production on for the scenario, can ships then go to these bases to upgrade weapons and systems? As it is now in the year long South Pacific scenairo, no ship has the capability to upgrade and all heavily damaged ships are forced to rely on Truk or Brisbane for repairs. They can not go back to a home base for major refit and repairs. If I can't take the ships off map then it seems that small shipyards at these two bases would make sense.

Considering the massive battles and damage that can take place in this scenario, any suggestions as to what size shipyard would make sense?

Thanks to any and all for the help.

If you wish to send ships off map for repairs, you need to turn off "VPs for damaged ships" in the scenario (using the scenario editor, rather than database editor).

Official scenarios score points for damaged ships, so off map movement not allowed.

Scoring for damaged ships disables the ability to send ships off-map.

Ah, Thanks. So, it is as simple as that. I will give it a try.

Done, and it works fine. Now I am assuming that the ships will upgrade if the upgrade option for the ship is turned on. However, when the ship returns to the theater, will it have system damage to reflect the time needed for workup after the upgrade or is that factored into the transit time.
