Shipyard making free ships

I'm playing with the Altarian Resistance, and I recently had a shipyard orphaned. I added a planet that's too far away as its sponsor, and it gives zero production to the shipyard. When I queue a ship to build, it says "NA" in turns to complete. Despite that, as soon as the turn is over, I have a new ship. I get one free ship per turn from that shipyard.

I am playing Terrans, and all my shipyards can build free ships if they are a cargo base hull design. Lots of Constructors and Colony ships!. These are all CUSTOM designs.

Also I find that using custom ship designs, I am overwhelmed by all the STOCK ship upgrades appearing for each and every technology researched. I don't see why "Soil Enhancement" should give me an upgrade to any ship let alone all the Stock ships!

This is annoying, but overall I am pleased with the gameplay.
