v.2.7.2 [60bf] Strange item in fleet manager

[Koos1234567]

Description: When in the fleet manager screen, on the right hand side of window (where the currently ships constructing are) there are strange items. Usually you would expect to find a list of ships under construction such as

*Fleet emblem* xxxx-class corvette #1 *progress bar*
*Fleet emblem* xxxxx-class corvette #2 *progress bar*
etc.

Now there are unremovable items in random amounts that look as follows:
*Defense platform picture* -1 *full progress bar*

Savegame: Singleplayer, ironman mode, robot race

DLC's: Uptopia, Apocalypse, Sythetic Dawn Story Pack, Leviathans story pack.
Mods: None.

Reproduction Steps:
I suspect that this happens when you mess around with reinforce fleet and upgrade fleet.

This dissapears on game restart.

Observe: See the strange empty items in the fleet menu.

I've also had this problem and it causes the ships to not be built until a relog from how i've had this and it has happened in every game i've played

I am having the same problem. When I build ships it leaves these behind when they finish some of the time.

Thanks, issue already reported .

As a workaround, save/load should fix it.

A faster way to fix it is to take the affected fleet (the one that you tried to reinforce) and create a new fleet from it, then move all the ships into that new fleet.

Hi, thanks for the reports. As mentioned this is already in our internal database

Easy to reproduce. U create a fleet in fleetmanager and start to produce it. After the first ships are built u go to the shipyard and manually cancel all remaining ship build orders in the queue. This will create that strange items which prevent u from reinforcing ur fleet. Also happen when build orders are autocancelled because the fleet is in MIA or the reinforcement path blocked (in this case ships are build at shipyardsystem, but dont join the fleet as reinforcement)

 

[hart30]

In general the more often u hit the reinforcement button and the further away ur fleet from the shipyard (also with automatic ship component designer on), the more broken it all gets randering the fleetmanager more and more useless until u are forced to manually build ships, which u merge with ur fleets. The workarounds arent helpful, because in wars u would have to do them after every major fight.

It is unbearable to play this way. When you're in the late game, you spend more time trying to position your fleets than commanding them to fight. None of the solutions you propose is useful. The game becomes tedious and unplayable. How difficult would it be to get an update solving this problem?

you could simply not use the fleet manager. there was a time where it didn't exist, i know people who never bothered to learn how to use it. i started playing the game a few months before it was added so i do still remember how. if i start a new game any time soon i won't be using it as it seems to have been broken in the last few patches

Ok, if I just can't use the fleet manager, everything is fixed. There was also a time when electricity did not exist... xDD
The problem is even without using the fleet manager, when you give the fleet reinforcement, the fleets stay on the way, and the number you have and the number that appears in the breviary do not match. It is not an anecdotal bug, it is a serious problem that directly affects the gameplay of the game, which is not exactly worth little. A patch is required to correct this bug.

i know the bug is bad and i am hoping that they fix it, i was simply presenting a possible work-around
