The lack of a shipping line for a conventional start is a bug and will be fixed in v4.81

Yes it's still true.  Steve put in "helper" functionality to a lot of commands so that they'll make a colony if one isn't already there, but I always play it safe and explicitly make the colony from the F9 screen.

I don't have any good ideas as to what might cause the behavior you describe.  The only thing I can suggest is to go to the F12 screen, hit "delete all" to clear the orders.  Then select Luna (make sure that it has (Pop 0.0m) next to it), and do "drop off team" (picking your team and hitting "Add move"), at which point the order should show up.  After doing this, if you've still got error you might try posting a screen shot of the error along with the F12 screen.

Another thought (before posting the screen shot) - can you drop your team off on Earth using the orders?  If you can, then something's probably messed up with your Luna colony.  Assuming you've got nothing there, simply abandon it and create a new one (from the F9 screen).  After that dropping off a team should work ok.
You can also create colonies directly on the F12 window. Its the second button from the left on the upper row of buttons at the bottom of the window.

I was unable to replicate the problem so I don't know what the heck I did the first time. Works fine now.
