[2.50] Player shipyard queue full of non-progressing orders - explained but not obvious

[ZonedOut]

I keep having to delete dead/stuck orders from my player shipyards when I allow them to build for the npc factions.

Ships in queue (note that only 2 will finish):

Plenty of inventory:

Wait a while and no progress on 9 of the ships:

You have zero Advanced Composites, which are used for countermeasures that nearly all NPC ships will require. If your shipyard doesn't want to stock Advanced Composites, you need to buy the countermeasure blueprint.

Of course, it's a UI failure that you can't obtain this information easily, but there's no gameplay bug.
