Ignored spaceport in home system

[Xmudder]

I have a second abandoned small spaceport in my home system. Which is being completely ignored. Despite 12 idle exploration ships and 4 idle construction ships I have hanging around my home system prior to researching stable warp fields.

I have seen this before, and I think it may be related to explorer ships ignoring pings on the larger map, which I have seen repeatedly. I have a save from game start as well if you need it. It is clearly visible in the abandoned ships and bases tab.

How did you get vision on the spaceport? Did any exploration ship visit the station at all? Do you have a save from before you researched the skip drive?

Looking at your save, it looks like your construction setting for repairing abandoned ships and bases is set to suggest, so construction ships won't go repair unless you order them to or you accept the advisor suggestion for it. Looks like it's WAD for construction ships at least.

It was visible at game start. Why did it never suggest despite multiple idle construction ships? I've seen explorers ignoring all sorts of things, including pings and refugee fleets. And I regularly need to manually send construction ships to locations I find under the tab, because the explorers never went there. I get the discovery pop up after I manually send the constructors.

game start save attached.

retest: load up with ignored spaceport. Manually sent an explorer to it. Got the Abandoned Base Encountered popup. Got the assign mission "complete construction of abandoned base."

Problem appears to be with explorers ignoring things in the Exploration sub menus Abandoned Ships and Bases and Special Locations. Given these are relatively new, I'm guessing that the explorer AI is ignoring things in these menus, even if they have not yet been visited by an actual explorer yet, which is why the construction ships are not being queued (flag is not being set correctly).
