Just ran into a viscous bug. I decided to start with ruins on Venus, and after dropping down my construction brigades they uncovered some AWESOME railguns, so I immediately dropped those on earth and disassembled them, which netted me cap recharge 4. Problem is, that was the current tech my pp guy was researching, and when I gained it through disassembling, he up and disappears! I now have 15 spare research labs, and no sign of him, even though he shows up in officers window
Edit: I cleared all assignments from officers window, closed program, and restarted, and there he is. Dunno what that was about....
