Will ship retrofitting be returning or is this intended to replace retrofitting?

I think this will work better overall.  More meaningful upgrades to a couple of important capital ships will be a lot less tedious.

Module suggestions: 

Precursor accelerator - common - Increases kinetic weapon fire rate.

Precursor Energy Regulator - uncommon - Beam weapons on this ship deal a percentage of its damage directly to the hull. 

I'm gonna float a few idea based on what I can work with given the parameters of the Galciv3 combat system. This is probably mostly op stuff. When I say mythic, what I mean is more like "legendary, but I feel like it should be rarer or at least not available from the tech tree, you have to find it somewhere"

I tried to make them galciv lore appropriate when possible, but a few could probably use better names.

Structural Analyzer, Legendary, Beam weapons do 50% more damage when not blocked by shields

Dread Lord Damper Field, Mythic, All damage to ship reduced by 25%

Posieden GravityWarp Torpedo, Mythic, Missile weapon, Very high damage, greatly reduced rate of fire, reduced accuracy vs smaller ships, fully bypasses point defenses

Ancient Energized Armor Plating, Rare, Counts as armor and shields but gets reduced by both kinetic and beam weapons

Hornet AntiFighter AutoCannon, Rare/Legendary, Kinetic Weapon get increased rate of fire vs small and tiney hulls. Or make it a support module.

Longbow Ancient Railgun, Legendary/Mythic, Very long range kinetic weapon, higher accuracy, greatly reduced rate of fire

Arnorean Phalanx Defense Field, Legendary/Mythic, All damage(from all sources) reduced by 2 while shields are still up

Ion Cannon, Rare, Beam Weapon, does double damage to shields but reduced damage to HP

Arnorean Emergency Quantric Shielding, Mythic, When the an attack would reduce this ships hp to zero, reduce it to 1 instead and the ship is immune to damage for the next 3 attacks. Only triggers once per battle. Or make it the next 5/6 attacks but it only activates if the ship still has shield

Arnorean Precognition Matrix, Mythic ,Support Module, Long range attacks on this ship have reduced accuracy

I like this.The survey part in the series was always a bit dull.credits,10% at a certain tech,etc.

Module Suggestions: 

Geller Field: Uncommon, reduce damage from Space Monsters by 40% 

Convoy Defense Orb (CDO): Uncommon, grants defensive bonus to fleet when on a friendly trade rout

Spy Drone: uncommon, when equipped ship is in another races borders, gain espionage against that race.

Quantum End Relay Module (QERM): Uncommon, Equipped ship yields a small amount of research to your home world. The further away from this planet you travel the research received also increases  

Really liking the new mechanic. I would like modules that make fleets more interesting during times of peace    , especially ones that go beyond parking a ship on a planet for a bonus  it’s great finding interesting things to do for ships all over a such a large map.
