Thanks for the report. The platform is waiting for rockets to arrive and this has priority over schedule - not a bug.

I see. Would be good if we were given a toggle to wait for rocket, since it was waiting for a rocket that was not even built yet, and not being built due to lack of materials, so the ship would never leave despite its only condition being "wait x seconds".

I know it doesnt look like a bug, but current behaviour just makes no sense. I dont want to wait for ages for the rocket to build on the surface, I need my ship to move and currently all conditions are green = it should move.

It should only wait for rocket that is already in "Launching" state, not for rocket that may or may not get built somewhere in undefined future.
It even waits for a rocket that cant be built because of ingredient shortage.

Please reconsider "not a bug, wont fix" status.

This is fixed for the next release.

Has the patch not gone live yet I take it? Been having the same issue all day. Got it now where each rocket reaches the ship just after the next one launches causing the ship to be stuck until all requests are satisfied even though I want it to be able to leave early. Trains will stop inserters from being able to put items in their cargo when they are not set to the station, why cant the same be done for spaceships? Once conditions are met, stop all further requests beyond the ones currently in flight and then set off as soon as they arrive?

The fix is in the experimental version. Still, rocket requests take priority over schedule conditions if you can keep up with rocket production and have enough items.
