Richard, did you miss this early on?

Greg Chalik wrote:
"I thought quite a few times about what happens to older TL equipment in Traveller. Obsolete may have a different meaning on different worlds.

Also, its a myth that tinkering with old technology can produce a better capability. In general, a design would cost up to 200% to go through a redesign that changed its use requirement even 10%. This option is the least viable, and usually the last option taken when nothing else is available."

Which seems to miss the point of the OP that is all about upgrading an old design with new technology from add-ons like digitizing the cockpit controls to rebuilding the wingroots with stronger materials.
