I didn't have time to confirm this bug so if someone else could confirm please.

Started beta 6 and loaded a game and played a few turns and all the"Auto launch" setting work just the way I liked them.

I accidently deleted a ship design so reloaded the last autosave (which i have set to every turn) Fixed up my ship design and continued to play .  A few turns later I noticed none of my new ships being built would "auto launch"

Did some quick buys and hit turn and still none of the new ships would launch. Tested this on fighters , Module ships and colonizers with no luck.

Did a quick save and exited back to desktop. Restarted the beta and loaded my quick save and tried the above test again and this time all the auto launched setting worked as expected.

Settings
selected=Auto launch ships from orbit
selected=Colony rally points use auto launch rules
Unselected=Auto launch transports
5=Min defenders in orbit before auto launch
