I too have run into the invisible constructer bug. Never happened to my starbases though.

after alt/tab back into the game the bases all came back, but my constructor that I designed was still invisible, the default ones were not, so I've deleted all customized ships/races and i am going to start a new game to see what happens

^^ In my game ALL the default constructers were invisible but the ones I designed were not. Heh.

I haven't had an issue with invisible starbases, but ever since the most recent update I have invisible constructors.

Sometimes saving, quitting and loading restores the graphic and sometimes it does not. I deleted the My Games\GC2TwilightArnor folder, but that didn't improve the situation.

Dunno if this post series is related to TA or not, so here's to say that my report is related to the latest beta of TA. This is what I get for not looking at which forum the post was in after a search. ;)

colony ships, space miners and constructors are still invisible for part of the game so I hope they fix this soon. One other bug I have noticed is that late in the game once you click the turn button the game stops responding, now this has not happened all the time but enough times to be rather annoying.

what fixed this problem for me was, i think iwas getting this bug because i name ships the same thing then save over it. I used to do this alot, anyway i deleted all the ship i had made and i havnt had a problem since. I do get an invisible planet in my planet lists once in awhile but on the actual game screen so its no bother.

As of today, December 22, 2007, I still have a problem with invisible constructors. Using the latest Beta 3 release. The constructors are actually there, but no ship graphic. I assume this is a recuring problem that will be fixed before the final version of TA is released. TA is the only version I have this problem with.
