No Stellar Wake/Tractor beams?

from Stardock Forums
I'm currently playing a game where for some reason my starbases don't seem to get the stellar wake/inverse tractor/interdiction beam options!

Everything else seems ok, I definitely have the tech (I'm buildings Avatars after all) but I don't get these reasonably low-tech options. About the only difference between this and other games I've played that springs to mind is that I got the "UltraDrive" event - could this have a bearing? Or is this just a weird bug?

I'm on v1.05, any ideas appreciated

I have not built those kind of SBs yet, but I know that some modules won't show up until you build the lower level one first. You said any ideas, so there it is. lol

Sounds strange.

Double check that you have researched the correct techs and if so zip your save and send it to Stardock with details.

Nope, I've definitely got them - only one tech left at this stage (4D space phasing). Don't sweat it, I'm nearly done with that game anyway.

As another side effect, no-one can build AM missiles, so the late game is very different to normal, lots more ship on ship action rather than just the standard flurry of missiles. I reckon this might not be a bad feature - be able to cap tech at a certain level, or disable ships/techs so you can tailor your game?

Aren't missiles and those SB modues all part of the Bonus pack? Could there be a problem with the extra data files not getting loaded or something?

Oh dear... If I was any more stupid I'd need to be watered twice a day ;)

I have recently re-built my pc, and neglected to re-install the bonus pack! Thanks all for the tips, its all working fine now.
