V1.00.84 Official Patch - Disband & Form TF Problem

See the attached save game.
It appears that you can disband TF's into a level 0 port. You can also call up the "Create TF" screen, however you are not allowed to add any ships to the TF! All ships are grayed out with the mouse-over saying something like "no room to add to docked TF".
In the attached save game see Baker Island, which is level 0 and has 3 ships disbanded into it.

Is it possible for an undocked TF to pick up ships at anchor at a port?

Quote "6.3.1.1 TASK FORCE DOCKING RESTRICTIONS
Even though there is a limitation on the number of ships that may comprise the different TF types, there is also a limitation on the size of a TF that may “Dock” at Ports of various sizes. There is no limitation on the size of a TF that may “Disband” at any Port." Unquote
The Manual implies that any task force can disband at "any" port. I don't think the size three port mimimum for disbanding in WitP applies in AE.

1. Yes, you can disband into ANY port. Disband is ships at anchor, not using any port facilities.
2. The issue about not being able to create a TF from ships at a level zero port is already reported and a fix will be in the next patch. You can temporarily get around it by moving an existing TF of the appropriate type to the location and transfering ships to it.

Thanks, guys!
BTW Don, I thought it was fixed in current patch and therefore you needed a save to see it still broken. Workaround is good.

As far as I know the bug came in too late to make Patch 1. Even though it is no longer my job, I can take a look at the save above.
(yup, fixed for next patch).

Can you be a little more specific as to why you think this?

Didn't mean to give you extra work - I was just explaining!
