My builder frigates went of strike!

from Sins Forums
hi, i was playing a large single player map, 4v4, and was doing pretty well aswell. during the colonising of a new planet, my brother asked 'whats that?' and pointed at the novalith cannon. i told him, and decided to build one. i clicked it, placed it, but the line that appears from the frigate to the novalith cannon didnt appear. i thought it was a glitch, and carried on with other things. when i cam back, it hadnt been built. i scuttled it, and tried again and again. they didnt want to build it. i scuttled some room on another planet, with the same result. i tried this over and over again, an i couldnt build one. so then i tried a research lab, only to have the frigate go up to it, build until it was 1%, then stop. why is this? i think its a pretty annoying bug, it wastes time and res. in the end, after colonising ANOTHER planet, it all worked again. dont know what fixed it though.

a bug devs need to address?

That generally means that the required research is in the queue but hasn't finished yet. As such, it isn't a bug, but a feature that you can queue it in advance.

Yeah, however I did catch my construction ship slaking off once. I had to direct him manually to get back to work,

no, i had researched it already. and that doesnt explain the research center not being built-u dont need research for that!!

The same thing can happen if the required logistics upgrade is in the queue. So it can happen with research centers too.
