(Bug?) Defense and Military outposts

[Sound of Solace]

Pretty sure neither work. I can't build the defense platforms i just researched (i read they defend Frontier Outposts). I saw in the beginning of my game that a Military Outpost was an option in a neighbored system within my boarders, but has since disappeared.

There is also a bug that repeatedly makes the Upgrade Fleet icon light up and waste minerals even though all ships are upgraded. I dismantled the fleet and separately none of the ships needed upgraded, but put them all together and it tells me 4 ships can be upgraded.

P.s. on Ps4 and typing this on my phone so excuse the typos and punctuation.

You use your construction ships to build defence platforms. In a system within your borders, use the same button you'd use to issue a go-to or build mining/research station but do it in empty space. It you should give you the option to either move or build a station.

Defense platforms will protect/anything in its range. I usually stick them near stations/planets

I also have that bug and another thread talked about it, Paradox said it seemed like a bug and they will take a look at it.
