BUG: Mining stations decoupled from planets - 4/7/2010 8:19:40 PM

I've noticed an issue where occasionally mining stations fall out of planetary orbit and sit stationary in the starmap, and do not orbit with the planet/moon. Stations may not be placed on the planet, as it is flagged as having a station, even though it has been left far behind as the planet orbits the star.

I cannot verify whether or not the station is operating normally.

I'd post screenies, but that will have to wait until tonight.

They don't operate normally. Once they run out of stuff they will remain empty from what I have seen.

Even deleting them with the editor wouldn't allow me to rebuild a new one in the same location. Definitely a game-breaker if this happens on a rare resource.

I seem to get this often when I queue an order while the construction ship in building.

I already uploaded a saved game with instruction on how to reproduce: See here

You can ignore the save game, however. I've meanwhile verified that the instructions in my top post are sufficient to reproduce the problem.
