1 month of time in overhaul rewinds 3 months of the maintenance clock.

How long does an overhaul take? Iàm overhauling my Surveyships at the moment, but there is nowhere to watch how long it take.  My 2 Ships are parked at Earth with a dedicated Shipyard and plenty Minerals/Supplys.  But they are overhauling since the last 6 Month.

To undertake a general overhaul ( maintenance clock reduction , not refit to an improved design ) of vessels , do the vessels have to be either :-

a) orbiting a planet with a shipyard dedicated to the applicable design

b) orbiting a planet with generic shipyards

c) orbiting a planet with maintenance supplies

d) some other parameters

advice would be appreciated so that i can spread the overhauls throughout my colonies rather than sending all vessels to earth which is becoming overwhelmed with vessels required refits as well as overhauls.
Orbiting a colony with sufficient maintenance facilities (1 per 200 tons displacement) and minerals (typically a minor amount).  Note that 1 maintenance facility can handle any number of ships simultaneously, i.e. it only takes 5 facilities to overhaul 20x 1000 ton FAC, not 100 facilities.
