reapaired sp-1won't join

[elanaagain]

Found a small spaceport in the asteroid belt. It was damaged and abandoned. I repaired it with a constructor. It still read 'abandoned.' The message said my constructor was done. Now, no matter how many explorers I send, the base refuses to be 'found/discovered.' won't join, blow up etc.

Select Explorer, ctrl+right click on the base then something like "investigate".

thx.. will do so.

But I've done that and some times the explorer just sits there on top of it and nothing happens.
I simply destroy it so no one else can have it.

Yes, the base refused to respond to the explorer. I have never used the game modifier thingy. This time i did. I noted the class of base, erased the neutral one, and add one in my emire. I was too far behind several hostiles to take the loss after repairing it.
