[Bug?] Station manager freighters still asigned to station after complex building

[piranhai aka Dragonslayer]

So I had a Bofu lab with two freighters which was managed by station manager.

I added a Bogas Fab to it making a complex. Now the issue is the freighters still show that there Homebase is the Bofu lab and the have the sign for being controlled by the station manager but basically do nothing.

Is this a bug? Is there a way to reset them and assign them the new complex as home base.

Try removing the SM then remove the traders' homebase, then reassign the SM followed (finally) by reassigning the ships to the 'plex?

I could select the single station in the complex but there was no command station manager active anymore. The ships itself still hat the V next to it and I was not able to find the homebase assign command (I think is not visible because they are still under manager control or maybe i'm blind?).

Remove the Station Manager from the complex and wait for a while - the ships with this complex will soon get "unmanaged" and you will regain full control of it.

You may have to disconnect it from the complex, start/stop station manager, then set their homebase to the hub, then re add the station to the hub.

Yes: I should have added "then wait until <ship> is docked>" to my post above

If I read correctly, the ships arent assigned to the complex, but instead still assigned to one of the individual stations that belongs to the complex, so the station manager for the complex will not control those ships.

Yeah it is exactly like that. And in that single factory inside the complex the manager command was not set anymore. They nether got unmanaged. I reloaded before build the complex and unassigned all the ships before connect to complex.

Hmm.. IMO the removal of the 'plex SM should have allowed you access to the individual (problem) station(s), hence allowing you to un-homebase that/those ship(s), but I haven't progressed so far as to be 'plex building yet.. so ultimately idk

Were those individual stations still tagged as station-managed even after removing the 'plex manager (or were they individually managed before 'plexing, tho that sounds unlikely)? Either way, this sounds like a genuine bug in the manager-removal script to me

Glad you got it sorted eventually tho, even if it was a PITA to do so (
