1.8 constructors with multiple modules issue
version 1.8, constructors having multiple construction modules become multiple ships when a starbase is constructed.

Thanks we'll look into it.
To clarify, if you build a constructor with 2 or more constructor modules and build a starbase with it, the 'extra' constructor is placed OUTSIDE the starbase. This entails you having to move the constructor off the starbase and back into it to get the benefit of having the extra module.
This only happened to me when the constructor I used to build the starbase had 0 moves left.
Thanks for clarifying.
Since I micro everything and manually upgrade my SB's using constructors with 2 or modules and even 4 later in the game this bug (which I think we had way back when) is extremely annoying to me. With that being said, here's how upgrading SB should work and this would save me boatloads of mouse clicking and time.
When any ship with a constructor module(s) arrives at a SB the modules should immediately build whatever is in the queue on a first queued first built basis. This should be the case regardless of of whether the constructor was sent manually or summoned automatically. As it is now, when I send my constructors I have to click to remove something from the queue to build it. Seriously, that isn't a good feature and costs me too much time. If properly implemented I'd be able to queue several or more upgrades in order and not have to worry as my triple constructors arrive.
Thx .. neilkaz ..
You don't need to manually order. Just hit turn and modules were be qued up.
By manually order I mean constructors that I tell to go to a starbase rather than ones that are summoned.
Yeah, you don't need to do that. Press end turn and the starbase will AUTOMATICALLY order modules to use up any spare construction points.
but what if the constructor has spare movement points that they want to use to get to the next starbase?
You're 100% sure of this?!! I thought this was only the case with modules summoned by the SB but not the case for constructors I told to go to the SB.
Yes. Put a constructor on a starbase set to automatic and hit end turn. Modules will be ordered, and building. They'll finish next turn. It is automatic at the price of being 1 turn slower.
