Problem with Turn Button and other qu's

I was doing okay no lock ups no missing turn button when all of a sudden it was back again. I'd click TURN and the letters 'TURN' would disappear from the button and then not come back. Clicking on the Map in the top left (with the left button) seems to reset it....but I found out what was causing it to happen.

I had parked a ship (battleship as it happens) underneath a Drengin planet. BY that I mean the space where all ships for some reason appear when launched from the planet. As soon as I moved it away from that space, the turn button started working properly again.

And while on the subject of the one and only space that ships can launch into, is that to allow some type of blockade? Prevent the planet from launching ships or something?

Also how do you stop a colony ship from launching? I made the mistake of clicking on a caputred colony ship, just after capturing the planet and it promptly launched the colony ship wiht 12000+ people straigt into an Arcean battleship. I didn't even hit the Launch button, just clicked on another planet to get away from the newly captured one.

Thanks,

Umm...well, it's supposed to try other squares if the usual one is blocked. Obviously, there's something amiss...

As for launching the colony ship (and the same thing will happen with transports) I'm having the person who wrote that code check it out.
