[7.1 HF3] Cannot remove Construction Drones (Specific Scenario)

[Scoob]

Hi,

I have a Defence Platform and added an S/M Ship Maintenance Bay, to which I then added some Construction Drones. Later, I no longer needed the Maintenance Bay so I removed it. However, this has left the station with a Drone problem. It shows a total of 165 Drones or 165 maximum, of these 50 are Defence Drones and 39 are Repair Drones. However, the UI Shows just 5 as the Target Amount for Defence Drones and 15 for Repair Drones. I suspect that the many Building Drones I originally added are "blocking" the UI. However, as Building Drones are no longer needed by this station, they are NOT shown in the UI so I cannot adjust the number back down to zero.

So, I cannot recover the materials used for Building Drones, nor can I replenish the other Drones to the required levels.

Suggestion: UI should always show the slider for Drones that are currently equipped at the station. If they are no longer relevant, such as the Building Drones once a Build module is removed, the slider should only be removed from the UI once it's been reduced to ZERO and the materials recovered.

Minor issue perhaps, but I often add an S/M Ship Maintenance Bay to Defence Platforms, removing them once the DP is no longer on the front line, or it simply no longer needs to support Subordinates.
