Stations detatching from planets

[Fleshbits]

I recently was trying to figure out why my construction ship had the option to but anything but a mining base on a moon I was looking at. I took my attack fleet there to be sure nothing was hidden. The moon looked empty. Then I look around the sector to see if I missed someone elses' colony. Nope. But I did see my own mining stations floating around not on top of anything. I could only deduce that a mining station acrross the system was built on that moon long ago and somehow the game has screwed up the positioning in drawing it?

Anyone else see this problem lately?

I cannot build on any of these:


And these in the same system don't appear to be on top of anything. They are just floating..?



I'd capture the text to show the build mining station not showing up while I could build a defensive base, or research station, and also the selection that verifes those are mining bases, but alt=printscreen gets rid of it when you hit them.

ya this sucks so bad, the only way to prevent it is to make sure the stations is on the planet circle all the way. just take care when building stations make sure you click in the middle of the planet.

This has been around for awhile, but doesn't happen all the time. When it does happen to me I use the editor to fix the problem.

this happened to me when, as a pirate I fitted an escort class with constructors. Problem was that after I scrapped the station I couldn't build another one on that planet.

imo that's cheating, glad you found a "fix" though

Is it graphical only or is it effecting their functionality you think?

If your ships have to fly halfway across the solar system to dock at a colony, I'd call that functionality
