Construction ship wont complete base

[The_Draf]

Hi

So my construction ship fled while building a defence base above a colony. It recived some damage to armour but nothing else. Now I can not resume the construction of the base with any construction ship. It does not show the repair icon or any option to finish construction. Please help.

Can you ask the base to retrofit? Defensive bases are usually built by colonies, and it could be stuck in a situation where the construction ships consider it a colony base, and the colony has not yet discovered that it is there.

Howdy!
Recommend you put this in the tech support as an error; because you have need to be able to do SOMETHING with this to get it fixed.

A similar problem - CON stepped away from repairing a graveyard ship to fix up a mining station, but now can't re-click repair on the ancient ship - though can target it with a nearby warship for kill or capture order. There are only 5 components left. Any ideas?

I'm surprised that you can issue a capture order. What happens when you do that?

Nothing happens on the capture order.

However, starting up the game again and ordering the old CON to another task and a another CON to work on the ship does seem to get both moving towards their targets with "Repair" orders. Hope it sticks.
