Bug: Queuing tech prevents ships from being built even when they can be.

I have noticed that if I queue up multiple upgrades to logistics and then queue multiple ships (say, 5 capital ships) it will not begin building ANY until the amount of current logistics and captains zero out.

Example:
I have 4 capital ships. My research allows 4 capital ships and more then enough regular logistics.
I queue research for two upgrades to the capital ships captain amount, one from 4 to 6, and the second from 6 to 8.
I then queue 4 shiny new capital ships in my shipyard.
When constructions will not begin until both research projects are done!
After the first research is over I have now capacity for 6 ships, but -2 is displayed, at that point it should start building the two new ships I now have capacity.
If I cancel two ships from the queue it immediately starts construction, and then I can readd them to the queue. to ensure I have all 4 ships queued and that it is building the 2 it currently can. instead of waiting for the second research project (6 to 8 capacity) to finish.

Yes, I've noticed it too.. it's a little irritating, but easily worked around.

still a bug, and if you forgot to work around it during an intense battle it can actually influence the course of the war...

Unlikely, but possible.

I've noticed this behavior as well except I was building frigates.

*fiddles with it*

Huh. So it does.

Honestly, by the time I have enough resources to queue multiple caps I've finished all the research anyway. :P

but it also occurs with other ships. The capital ships were just one example...
Every time you purchase more then one level in logistics (either capital or regular) you will have a case where no ships are buiit until ALL queued logistics research is finished, instead of building up to the current cap each time a level of logistics is aquired.

I find it very VERY common... Its really inexpensive to upgrade capital ships from level 3 to level 5... and 4 capital ships only cost 12,000 credits... if you have been saving (but not upgrading planets / not searching them for artifacts / not building defenses) then you can have such a thing occur really quick.

Taltamir, don't bump your own threads, if someone is going to post, they'll post.

Actually I am waiting for a DEVELOPER to see it and make a response.

Also, bumping should be limited to older threads, but its completely fine to bump your own. I waited from feb 14th till march 3rd to bump this. If someone was gonna see it they would have already. it obviously sank to the oblivion of older threads and needed to be resurrected.
