Description
I do not know if it is intentional, but a rather annoying bug I have noticed is the inability to retrofit ships that are part of a fleet. When the fleet is selected, the option is not highlighted. I have found no way around the problem and have simply been taking those ships I need to retrofit out of the fleet for the retrofitting. I think if this can be fixed, it would greatly enhance the benefit of fleets.
Fleet retrofit problems
Actually you can use the next ship command (as long as the options have been set the right way) to go to ships in fleets. You can then give them retrofit orders. However (unless it has been changed), it will retrofit all ships of that hull size regardless of anything else, because it gives all ships in the fleet the retrofit order, just as it does with any command.
SE:IV was the same way. There was no way to retrofit ships within fleets that I ever found. You had to remove them first, then put them back in.

useful
I actualy find it useful not to have unarmed engineless ships in my fleets
you can refit multiple ships
you do know you can refit more than one ship at a time if you remove them from the fleet
