Any workaround for stuck starbases not producing?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Was wondering if anybody knows a workaround for this problem ...

I have 2 starbases that are stuck at 0 turns to go to produce a ship but will never complete them.
Ive tried changing the ship, saving and reloading, destroying and remaking the starbase but nothing seems to work.

My current game is going to good to give up on but with this bug it pretty pointless to keep going

Do you have the latest patch? I know that was a problem with the release version for social products but I hadn't had it happen to me with ships. I'd try that first and see what happens from there.

I'm not sure what you mean, I didn't think starbases can produce ships. If you mean starports on planets then I've had this same problem and was able to work around it by rush buying the said ship. Basically when looking at the planet from the galactic view I clicked on the tiny purchase button next to the progress bar, which was still enabled despite there being 0 weeks left for production. The prices varies from 0-80, the purchase button was disabled afterwards and the ship built the next turn.

Yup, latest patch. Meant starports on planets yes

The purchase button is already greyed out both on the galaxy view and the ship build screens.

Ah well, time to hang this game up till it gets another pacth or 2 I think. Such a great game but I'll end up hating it if I play and constantly end up hit with bugs like this that ruin games and force restarts.

My loss = spending days on a game only to hit a nasty bug like this that ruins it.

My gain = wait till they fix some of these issue so I can really play without thinking 'jeez wonder if I'll be able to finish this one.'

Judging by the past it shouldnt take them to long to get things ironed out.
