[0.83] Strategic Resources Exceeded for Ships in Production Queue

I was able to build ships beyond the quantity of my currently available strategic resources.For example, let's say I have 2 units of elerium, and a custom prototype ship uses 2 elerium. Instead of allowing me to build just 1 instance of such ship, I can queued up 10 such ships in a shipyard. Ten turns later, I will own 10 such ships without owning the prerequisite amount of resources. The resource bar will show that I have -18 elerium (2 - 20). This throw the combat balance out the window since I was able to own ships more powerful with minimal investment (no need to build multiple constructors and race the AI to mine the strategic resources).

Ouch, that's an abuse-able bug for sure. I built one prototype ship and I'm pretty sure it won't let you queue another if you've hit your max. I didn't try to queue more than one though. :)

+1 for fix

Yes it lets you cue up more ships than you have resources. I love it!
