More beginner questions

[sbr (OP)]

I just dl'ed the game yesterday, and have been poking around at it the last couple of hours.  I am playing the 4.91 version ATM.

Two things I couldn't find elsewhere.

1.  I have a naval shipyard that won't retool to a new ship class.  I have retooled other yards, so I know how to do it, but this one just sits there at 0% for months now.  It is supposed to be finished in 41 days but every time I advance the time it stays at 0% and the finish date moves out by the same number of days I advanced.

2.  I had a research project disappear it was researched.  I designed the project and created it, sending it off to the research department.  I know I had someone research it, but it never appeared as an option to add to a ship, and it does not appear in the Completed techs list.  Now that I am writing this I remember that the project seemed to finish a few months too early, the scientist that was researching it showed up as unemployed unexpectedly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you having any mineral shortages? Check the event log (Ctrl-F3) and look.

2. Are you sure its actually finished? Check the research window for the appropiate tech type to see if its avaliable to assign to a research team - if it is then its not finished.  Also make sure that you check all the populations you might have started the reseach on - I once started a research project on a minor colony, and later moved all of the reseach labs on the colony to another location - net result was a project that never finished  - I had to restart the reseach on the new location and lost all the reseach points
