[RESOLVED] Build 1776: Cannot Add V-Bats to Harpers Ferry LSD or San Antonio LPD

Hi
The issue is when I try and add a
V-
Bat to a San Antonio I get the exceeded available space message and I can't add it.

Just looking at the facilities they seem fine. So I tried adding to an Essex LPH. They're successfully added and looking at the air facilities so is the required UAV shelter to store them. I took at look a the components in lua and that hangar has an id of -1. Assume its a programmatic thing. Its also not in the Add facility button dialog so can't add it by hand.

Could you fix this issue. These drones and several similar one's are really common these days. Auto adding the drones with the programmatic facility add like Essex would be awesome. Adding the required storage facility by button or code would be sufficient.
I've attached a save with A Harper's Ferry, San Antonio, One clean Essex (As IF!) and one loaded with the drones and UAV facilities.
Thank you for your support.

This should be fixed in DB 515, thanks!

Added a report on the db request log as well.

Alright figured out what's wrong.
If you add V-Bat to carrier it works as it creates the UAV Storage facility. It doesn't do so on San Antonio, LCS etc. I tried what's in the list add aircraft storage facility drop down but it didn't work. Same error
Could you fix this and add that type of facilities to the add aircraft facilities list so there is a workaround next time. I'm going to try it in Lua now if I can determine with the ID is for those kinds of storage facilities.
Thanks!

Ok added the V-bat to a carrier which works as it writes the UAV class I in there (and lets me find the dd id of the Class I airfacility. Turns out its a -1 so maybe something programatic here
[83] = { comp_type = 'AirFacility', comp_dbid = -1, comp_status = 'Operational', comp_guid = 'NLBN1G-0HNKF8K2H4MIJ', comp_name = 'UAV Storage (UAV [NATO Class I])' }
Sorry about the text color see below..hehe.

Hi All
Did you fix this on the programming side or did you think I resolved it? I only saw the Resolved so not sure if you need more help. The issue occurs when adding to anything other than a carrier it wasn't adding the uav storage container.
Thanks!

Good Evening,
Am I correct to say I cannot add and use the V-bat UAV to any other ship than a Carrier?
Sorry for my confusion.
