I was playing today and couldnt get a supplship. I woked on a planet til I had a shipyard. But when I went back to homegate it wouldnt give me my supplship. Is this a bug?

You probably had the gate selected as a spawn point instead of the planet with the ship yard.

Just click the planet on your navigation after you've entered the planet or gate. If you still cant pull your desired ship, it most likely means you dont have enough tech or resources

Once you have selected a faction, you will be brought to the ship spawn screen. This screen provides a visual information about the general territory controlled by your faction, as well as locations of active shipyards and the factional home gate (if the current server has it).
The territories are determined by locations of the planets controlled by the various factions.
Shipyards and the home gate are are indicated by white icons on the selection map.
On the left of the spawn screen is a large list of ship models which can be built by your faction's shipyards. The names of the ships may be in white, grey or red color, which indicate whether the ship can be built for you or not.
White text indicates that you have the required rank and badges required for the command of the ship, as well as sufficient technology and resources available on the selected shipyard.
Grey text indicates that the shipyard does not have enough resources or the technology level for construction of the selected ship.
Red text indicates that you do not have the required rank and authority, or you do not have the necessary badges and accomplishments.
Note :- When playing in the rank-limited servers, the availability of playable ships is limited to those which do not require a rank higher than the server's limit. Ships requiring a higher rank will have their names displayed in red text, and cannot be launched from the shipyard.
The spawn screen map focuses on a pre-selected spawn location, and also shows nearby shipyards (if any). To select very closely-located shipyards, or those present in distant star systems, you can control the direction of focus by holding down the right mouse button and dragging it. The level of zoom is increased using the Z key, and decreased using the X key. To change the shipyard in focus, double-click on another shipyard in view.
When choosing a spawn location, you can opt to spawn at the Home Gate or at a shipyard. Each shipyard choice allows you to examine the resource caches of every planet, which you will understand more about as you continue reading.
This is a relevant section on spawning from Shipyards from the wikki.
