VESSEL REFIT #1

---

All the damage caused by our Cretan enemies has been repaired. The MNS Amalfi took a beating and it could have easily been our last battle - a few more damaged systems and the vessel would have been almost unrecoverable.

Since the Amalfi was one step away from being written off completely, I have arranged a replacement of the obsolete armor plates and the older "Cerberuses" for the newer and experimental "Repeaters". Our armor was good enough, but it had been patched and corroded so many times by our travels through gaseous nebulas that its nominal hardness was compromised and we have been forced to replace it with the newer armor plates completely. The same goes for our "Cerberuses" which are still perfectly serviceable, but not as versatile as we need right now.

The work on the Amalfi was much more complicated. When the engineers took the armor off our ship, new panels simply did not fit. This caused more delays as they tried to fit another set of armor that was unable to fit. After a few days of examination, they discovered that after all those years of service, some parts of Amalfi were warped and some parts of her internal structure needed to be replaced.
Once it was done - the new armor plates could be fitted without any issues.

Due to our unfortunate series of encounters, I decided to replace the problematic ECM system with a cloaking device. While this loses the ECM capability, its usefulness in past encounters was questionable and it failed to protect us from torpedoes or missiles.

The cloaking device, on the other hand, will allow us to slip undetected through most tricky situations. Our engineers will have to come up with a plan to fit both the ECM system and the cloaking device to the Amalfi. Once we have both in the hangar, we'll be a proper Maltese recon cruiser.
