Lease bug in 1.03.56

I hope I got the build right (the latest one dated today).

Round 1 - selected colony ship, purchased with the lease option (last one).

Next round, no ship - but the money was deducted from my account, and I'm paying 5 per turn, so in essense I was charged, but never got the colony ship...

It was hijacked by three rather ruffled looking characters. Nobody knows for sure who they were, but the guard at the USS Colony Ship project hangar heard voices just before the unsuspected launch:

"One of these dudes said something like. ´Uday, Qusay, come on. Hurry. We have to steal this thing before the imperialist bastard detect our presence´. And then the other dudes said ´Yes, dad´ I couldn't really get a good look at them, on account of it being dark and all, but I swear that they were riding a camel". The guard then added that he didn't think that the culprits would get very far. "That ship requires a crew of at least 3,000."

Did you change the ship type you were producing after buying? I've done that and lost what I was building :notsure: . Solution: after buying something, don't change the production for that planet and production line until it shows up in the between/start of turn maintenance stuff.

Oh. Forgot to mention, you can do that in any version of the game, accidentally (or deliberately, there's a possible tactic for you) changing production after purchase of the item.

I've seen it once too, one patch release back. I actually bought 2 colony ships from General Manufacturing (?; the first leasing option). 2 turns later and still no ships. but my balance went -$700. it happened on the 20th turn or so of the game. haven't seen this problem since. :notsure:
