Unable To Build Large Planetary Port

[OgreWookie]

I have the required 6 green boxes, I travel to a nice open space on a planet, I hit the SC Suite button and go through the selection - Port - Tier 3 - Type Zeus and click the start building button.

The build camera comes on however there is no sign of the "build location ghost". I hit "End" in the hope something might appear - nothing happens.

I've tried all four tier three port types and none appear.

What's going wrong?

They need Tier 2 Construction points... do you have enough of them?

Note that will take more than 6 facilities... to get tier 2 points you need tier 2 facilities, which themselves require tier 1 facilities for tier 1 points.

That's the current state of the system.
Previously when attempting to set up a Tier 3 port the system has told me that not enough construction points are available.
Currently everything goes fine up to the point of actually placing the facility, the camera switches to the ground view but no port "ghost" is available to move/rotate etc and hitting End key to confirm the placement (just in case it decided to be invisible) does nothing

Ok, forget I said anything, this morning it worked first time

You have an answer now, but often the spawn point will appear off camera for some reason; pull the controls down and it should scroll into view, this may be your issue.
