Issue with planet defenses?

from Sins Forums
I am currently playing one of the pre-loaded large maps in beta. One of my planets had it's defenses destroyed, which included hangers and gauss cannons. Once my fleet arrived and destroyed the AI fleet, I went to rebuild my defenses. However, when I clicked on a defense to build it would start "building" it but not allow placement and when it was done I did not have my defense but it took up the allotted tactical slot. I kept repeating this with both hangers and gauss cannons. I would click and it would not allow placement but it would "build" and take a slot but leave me with no actual defense. I ended up with my tactical slots full but with no defensive placements.

I've not seen this. Do you have any saves/replays/screenshots?

Did the planet get bombed and you recolonized it? A combination of losing tactical upgrades and accidentally enabling autoplacement sounds like it might explain this if I'm understanding what you mean correctly.

In earlier versions, I would order ships built having also ordered increased fleet sizes, and when the fleet number went red, it stopped building ships for which I had positive fleet logistics for... ...And if I recalled the increased logistics, I couldn't build into my last legitimate ship slots until I canceled ships and brought the fleet supply number back to positive

(I know they fixed the fleet-points/ship-building a while back, but it reminds me of that situation)...
