[BUG?]Deliverance Engine

So I was playing my first game on beta 2 as advent and someone came to my house so I left and let game run for about 40-60 min.When I came back the ai had killed my sb in neutral wells and killed all my caps but I still had all my planets and 500k creds so I researched EVERYTHING and put engines and on a few planets 2 engines and left them on autocast except one.So I pretty much had everything cultured on the whole map and I was about to attack so I went to use the one I left on auto and there was nothing there.None of my engines were firing and the ability was gone.All that was there was a red circle with slash thru it.

Hm could be I dont know.Didnt realize that would disable thier ability.Do you lose ship abilities if you lose a lab I have never noticed?

yes certain abilities and ship designs get disabled when you lose x amount of labs

other researches (like hp research) is not affected

Once I have gained an ability for a ship I have never noticd losing it.I knew you couldnt build a ship or structure if you lost the lab for it.Never really used the del engine so didnt know thats how it was.
