infinite money from halting construction then rebuilding, beginning of game

have save file, restarting capital ships game start gives infinite money

from Sins Forums
For some reason I could not find a reference to this bug anywhere on the forum. Maybe my search keywords were bad. Anyway, I just started a large galaxy game and decided to build a Kol cap ship, i thought i mis clicked, so i canceled production and noticed that I had accidentally canceled the Kol which I had selected correctly after all. So then I notice the cost of the Kol has been added to my resource pool. I proceeded to do this with all of the cap ships available and discover that you can amass a serious fortune at the VERY BEGINNING OF THE GAME if you do this. This is definitely not good, and I would be surprised if no one had ever had to cancel cap ship production at the beginning of the game and rebuild a cap ship. I hope this is not bringing up an old issue, but I thought it was important so I hope this save, which I can provide upon request, and the attached screen shot are helpful.
if this image doesnt show up, someone help me set it up right :/

Yes, we know of this already. Its getting fixed along with a few other annoying bugs, so dont worry about it. But beware the comp uses this sometimes unknowingly

I tried capital ships as a search query and wasnt sure why nothing related showed up, incidentally, does this work with other buildings, or was it just capships?

Just the cap ship cause the first one you build cost zero, but returns its full cost if you stop building. Its something they forgot to change I am sure.
