Can't Launch Units Remotely! Help!

[Stone Mill]

What could be the cause of this? Possible bug?

In our current PBEM game I have lost the ability to remote launch. Not from any Minelayers, not from any Planets, etc…

…No, there is not max units in the area I am trying to launch. Although, there is a large number of Total units in the game by all players, and another player has at least 4 times as many units as I do (but I’m not sure how many of those are in space).

…No, I am not launching the wrong type of unit (i.e. fighters from a minelayer). I have been very careful about this.

Facts: I had the ability to remote launch for about 85(?) turns of the game, then suddenly, I continued to give the “Launch Units Remotely” order, and it appeared, but after the turn was processed, the order was cleared with no result. No warning or error message either.

After I attacked one of my opponents, close to turn 95, I actually regained the ability for about 2 turns, but then lost it again! (maybe it had something to do with the total reduction of units, although I really did not lose any; he did.)

Anyone else had this happen? Any ideas?
