True, a problem with resource transport was my speculation before I looked closely. Now I know for a fact that all resources required are present at the planet. Only the needed components weren't being built. In my case the space port had all yards locked by ships that weren't progressing and which I couldn't delete. I then fell back to retireing the entire space port and building a new one. That isn't finished either yet (knock on wood).
All the designs had probably been obsolete for a pretty long time. On the other hand, I started upgrading freighter designs a bit late (with automatic upgrade turned off from the start).
Apart from that: I do not know whether a save game for this issue would be helpful or not. Just give the word, if I shall upload one.

The resources were on the planet? They need to be in the spaceport's cargo...

sbach2o,
If you have a save, please tell us exactly which planet, port and ship we are looking for in a new tech support thread and then go ahead and upload the save file. It's worth a look.
Regards,
- Erik

I am fairly certain that the resource storage of a planet and its spaceport are shared. Or it was a freakish coincidence that the numbers I compared seemed to always match. It absolutely makes sense to handle it so, btw.
Regarding savegame: Okay, I will try to check through a number of my old saves. With some luck I find one where one of the Mining Stations that get left behind by their planets is just being built, and with even more luck the phenomenon is reproducible.
I hope I can manage by tomorrow, otherwise it may take until after the weekend.
