Ok, forgive my noobness or if this question has been answered, I looked but didn't see anything in the forums yet.

I just got into my firt war (yay) and the coward of course took out a few of my frieghters in the trade route. However, the frieghters are still listed in my ship inventory and are actually stationed now outside my home world (source of the trade route) cept they are still in the tiny mode and I can't move them anywhere. They are also sitting outside the trade lane. The trade routes are still up but they aren't generating income.

Is this a bug or is there something I'm not understanding that I need to do?
