Any Ship may be scrapped at no cost, and at no benefit. It's gone.
Note: Optional Rule.
Instead of scrapping used parts you may take on some extra paperwork.
Whenever any Ship component is still working 100%, and is removed,
it can be put in Ordinary (mothballed) . It can be reused w/o having
to pay for a new one. When used, it's noted & removed from the Ordinary.
All mothballed parts pay the annual Ordinary 1% Maintenance Fee,
but there are no extra costs to 'recommission' them, except as below.
If used for a Critical Repair or a Refit, only the 50% (of new cost) fee for
labour is charged for PP, JDrive & MDrive ( Major part) reuse. With
all other (Minor Part ) changes , it costs only the 10% (of new cost) fee.
(TCS pp.34)
If any undamaged part (above) re-used in a new build of the same Ship
Class there is no fee.
If re-used in a new build of an 'identical Tonnage' Ship, but not of the
same Class, there is no fee for Minor Parts, and only a 10% (of new
cost ) fee for PP, JDrive & MDrive ( Major part) reuse.
If re-used in a new build of any other type Ship, there is the 10% fee
for Minor Parts, and but a 50% (of new cost ) fee for PP, JDrive &
MDrive ( Major part) reuse.
Example: Ten stored triple Laser turrets originally removed from a
Turkey class, 20,000T war Ship, are Reused in a 20KT freighter.
The cost is 0%.
Example: Stored Jump-1 Drive originally removed from a Turkey class,
20,000T war Ship, is Reused in a Turkey class, 20,000T war Ship.
The and the cost is 0% of the cost for a new J-1 Drive for the new Ship.
Example: Stored Jump-1 Drive originally removed from a Turkey class,
20,000T war Ship, is Reused in a 20KT freighter. The cost is 10%
of the cost for a new J-1 Drive for the new Ship.
Example: Stored Jump-2 Drive originally removed from a Butterball class,
50KT war Ship, is Reused in a 20KT freighter. The new Ship is now a
J-5 (Jump # x old Ship size / new Ship size) Ship and the cost is 50%
of the cost for a new J-5 Drive for the new Ship,
UNLESS J-5 IS ABOVE YOUR CURRENT TL,
then you have a working, but over-sized, J-Drive of your best range at
your TL. (If J-3 is your best, it's a J-3, & the cost is based on J-3)

In Campaign Ship Building
Normal Ship building in Campaign:
Take one years Naval Budget every Jan 1st, Pay all Maintenance Fees.
All Ships in Ordinary (i.e. mothballed) on Jan.1st, pay 1% Annual
Maintenance Fee. All Ships, not in Ordinary (i.e. mothballed), Jan.1st, must pay 10% Annual Maintenance Fee.
Design a Ship Class
Pay Architect fees.
Build 1st one of Class, pay full price, + cost modifiers, if any, to build it faster (TCS p.33). Build more of same Class & build it 40% faster than normal time required. Also pay 80% of full price, + cost modifiers, if any, to build it faster.
When each Jan. 1st rolls around, for every Ship not in Ordinary (i.e. mothballed), pay Maintenance of 10% of what each Ship cost to build. (TCS p.35)
Example: The Fictitious, a 1,000T Ship, costs MCr2,000 to build the 1st of its' Class, and its' size is listed (TCS p.33) as taking 120 weeks (unmodified weekly cost = MCr2,000/120 = MCr16.6667), costing MCr2,000.
10% Annual maintenance fee = MCr200.
But you're in a hurry. If you use double the required Shipyard capacity for, say, 47 weeks, you get the bonus of +40% work done during those weeks (47 x 140% = 65.8 weeks work done in 47), this means 54.2 weeks more work to go.
If you wish to use double the required Shipyard capacity (2 x 1,000T) for the entire time, 86 weeks x 140% = 120.4 weeks work of 120 weeks required.
[Keep track of all fractions in the calculations.] Ship is completed at a cost of the unmodified weekly cost (MCr16.6667) times the 86 weeks it took., or MCr1,433.3362.
10% Annual maintenance fee = MCr143.33362
If the Fictitious is to be rammed though as fast as possible, at the lowest cost, using double the required Shipyard capacity for the entire time, and paying the +10% (of the unmodified weekly cost above) extra cost for each +10% work done per week. Since the double Capacity already gives a work bonus of +40%, and 100% bonus work is the maximum, 60% of the unmodified weekly cost is the most that can be added each week. 60 weeks x (100% + 40% + 60%) = 120 weeks of work done. Ship is completed is 60 weeks at a cost of [(60 weeks x MCr16.6667) + ( 0.60% x 60 weeks x MCr16.6667 )] = [(MCr1000.002 ) + (MCr600.0012) = MCr1,600.0032.
10% Annual maintenance fee = MCr160.00032
If the Fictitious is to be rammed though as fast as possible, without using double the required Shipyard capacity at all, paying the +10% (of the unmodified weekly cost above) extra cost for each +10% work done per week.
Since 100% bonus work is the maximum, 100% of the unmodified weekly cost is the most that can be added each week. 60 weeks x (100% + 100%) = 120 weeks of work done. Ship is completed is 60 weeks at a cost of [MCr2,000
x (100% + 100%).
10% Annual maintenance fee = MCr400
Take one years Naval Budget every Jan 1st, Pay all Maintenance Fees.
