Trade post connection over a Star

doesn't work all the time

from Sins Forums

I was playing in a single star medium sized map, and deployed trade post on all of my planets.  I have 4 planets linked by trade networks over the star, they postioned themselves about 18 degrees to each other with a asteroid without the trade post in the middle, and it worked perfect fine, but another two planets on the opposite side of the star wasn't linked.  All the 6 planets should be linked since they are all basically connected by the star.   What happened?  

 

Phase lane linked with trade route -,  /

Phase lane not linked with trade route x

All Planets have trade post, asteroid doesn't have trade post

A---B x asteroid x C---D

   \   \                 /    /

P.S. I am playing with the newest patch 1.905 or something like that.

rofl yeah i once spend 15 min on making a sweet text-based diagrammy.....  thing...   someone neatly told me i shouldve made a screeenshot instead.... doh -.-

 

anyways, i've had a system once.. just ONCE where somehow there was 1 star and 3 star systems....  all planets where linked tough.... so when i jumped to a nearby planet (tough in another star system) it used the "star 2 star phase jump"  (pinkish phase jump)

maybe the same happend here :/?

p.s. planets were at normal range from eachother... so the star 2 star phase jumping ships arrived instantly....
