Following up from this
thread I just want to make sure I'm getting certain parts right that still aren't really clear.
Strategic Operations page 188 for relevant rules.
To give us a specific example to make sure I'm understanding everything correctly going from the 6R Wolverine to the 6M Wolverine.
What I'm unclear on is if moving items in the same location while also not changing facing needs to be factored in and likewise if like in this specific example if removing a weapon then replacing it with a different type is factored into the refit class portion of the equation or if it should be charged as two separate operations.
As such I see three possible calculations for this particular refit.
Calculation 1(moving the SRM 6 doesn't count since it isn't actually changing location or facing and replacing the AC-5 with a Large Laser is factored into the refit class multiplier and thus one operation):
120 minutes to replace the AC-5 with a Large Laser
120 minutes to install a new Medium Laser
90 minutes to add armor
120 minutes to remove the AC-5 ammo
120 minutes to move the SRM 6 ammo to the Right Torso
240 minutes(60 minutes*4) to remove the Jump Jets from the Legs
240 minutes(60 minutes*4) to add the Jump Jets to the Torsos
180 minutes to add 2 heatsinks
1,230 minutes*3 totaling 3,690 minutes for a class D refit
Calculation 2(moving the SRM 6 does count but again AC-5 to Large Laser is factored into the refit class multiplier and one operation):
120 minutes to replace the AC-5 with a Large Laser
120 minutes to install a new Medium Laser
90 minutes to add armor
120 minutes to remove the AC-5 ammo
120 minutes to move the SRM 6
120 minutes to move the SRM 6 ammo to the Right Torso
240 minutes(60 minutes*4) to remove the Jump Jets from the Legs
240 minutes(60 minutes*4) to add the Jump Jets to the Torsos
180 minutes to add 2 heatsinks
1,350 minutes*3 for a class D refit=4,050 minutes.
Calculation 3(SRM 6 counts and changing from AC-5 to Large Laser is two operations further multiplied by the refit class multiplier):
120 minutes to remove the AC-5
120 minutes to install the Large Laser
120 minutes to install a new Medium Laser
90 minutes to add armor
120 minutes to remove the AC-5 ammo
120 minutes to move the SRM 6
120 minutes to move the SRM 6 ammo to the Right Torso
240 minutes(60 minutes*4) to remove the Jump Jets from the Legs
240 minutes(60 minutes*4) to add the Jump Jets to the Torsos
180 minutes to add 2 heatsinks
1,470 minutes*3 for a class D refit=4,410 minutes.
So which calculation is the correct one?
