FCOL Bug Report: Frax unable to launch drones

The Frax are unable to launch drones. On the Launch tab, the appropriate drone racks, target, etc. can be selected. However, pressing the big Launch button has no effect. This seems to affect all the Frax ships in the client, at both scales. Is it possible this is related to the Frax ships not having a counter associated with them?

Note that I was able to manually launch Frax drones by selecting Add Piece Here..., Fed Drone, and then manually inputing the launching ship, launching rack, target, etc. This did work, but was fairly cumbersome and awkward.

I'm happy to provide any additional info if needed. Thanks,

Garrett

Don't forget, the Point of Slip and Point of Turn markers also did not work with the Frax. You had to place them and move them manually.

Oh, that's right. Thinking about it more, I'm starting to wonder if both issues are related due to the Frax being a new empire without other Frax counters (Frax drone, Frax point of turn, etc) existing in the client.
