Here's a quick pic of where to go to cancel ships. I wish I had seen this ages ago lol.

Thank you.
Got my only trader stuck in upgrade[critical], so I couldn't even fix the engine shortage. Three NPC traders just hang out near the wharf, refusing to supply it with anything. So much for "• Fixed factions not building new ships."...

they do but are slow about it, i've got 3 carriers and destroyers in a que before my stuff appears :(

The 1.5 BETA patch has fixed this (for me).

Does it fix the disappear station managers? Because if not it's still a waste of my time.

For everyone having this issue go build a new ship at the shipyard or Warf and look to see if it is requesting any wares. I have notice my Paranid Shipyard is full of wares but missing 6 engine parts and won't finish the building of my ship.When I go in game I will show screenshots on what I am talking about.

[Revy106]

yeah the 1.5 beta patch has added it in

Added option to undock and abort ship upgrades that are waiting for resources.

which is lucky because I think it has just happend to me last night xD

I have a contruction ship that is stuck in building and today I figured out what was missing but I filled the station up with every other ware besides the one it needed to complete the construction

[Stevie Lee]

So i am on a fresh start with 1.32, on second day of gameplay. EVERY shipyard in the galaxy except one has this problem, and two days of delivering thousands of wares to them didn't do anything to resolve the problem, my ships are still stuck in the que. There is something more wrong than just being low of critical supplies, because (1) Failure to price for demand-- There are wares out there, because I have been delivering them nonstop, but not always at a profit... they are not priceing things suffciiently to generate traffic. (2) Do they need them? The wares themselves don't solve the problem, my ships still don't get built. I don't know if they are eating anti-matter converters, hull parts and engine parts, but three freighters have been delivering non-stop for two days to four shipyards and they haven't built any of my ships, and the number of ships "to buld" remains unchanged for each. and (3) Not a storage probelm-- They were not stocked full, each shipyard with the problem had sufficient capacity to accept more wares.

It showing the ship needs attention because of missing wares

This is the build screen showing missing 14 Scanning Arrays to complete the previous build

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1591194074

Here it is missing 16 Scanning Arrays because the Chassis need 2 scanning Arrays to build the frame.

Here is the trade menu not requesting the Scanning Arrays

I have notice if you look to see what is queue some times your ships are not queue first and you have to fufill the other ships ware request before they will build yours. That happen to my mining ship in Argon shipyard

I've not encountered disappearing station managers prior to the recent BETA patch sorry. All I can say is that it's not happening to me currently.

I had same issue, two ships stuck in contruction. However after the shipyard build around 12 a.i ships over course of 2 hours it finally started building mine after i told my traders to ship the needed engine parts manually.

where i can see the missing parts needed to construct the queued ship?

If there is a timer stuck that means the station doesn't have the material to build yet. You can just wait someone sells the material to the station. Or do it yourself (good way to make some money). Look at the station storage and see what they need.

If it is a upgrade waiting and the ship has a pilot and you can't cancel and want to, you need to remove the pilot from the ship and assume the command. Generally you can't just click in the chair, they will not leave. Talk to the pilot and send him/her to work in another ship or change the her/his job to marine, crew or something then you can sit and undock.

A ship "stuck" in construction/upgrade because of the lack of material is not a bug but a feature.

The only problem is that you don't have a command to let the pilot cancel the upgrade, you need to force remove the pilot to be able to sit and undock.

In case of a ship construction you don't have a pilot yet to do that and you need to wait or sell the lacking materials to the station and profit.

It makes sense but there's no NPC at all that trade these precious wares, so this should be fixed at least a bit.. On the other hand it will be better if we build a ship commerce's too instead of thousands of miners!
