This is a v2.8 base game problem:

I've fixed the "Research Lab is now Basic Lab" oversight, and I've identified that PlanetaryDefenseSystem_Name and EleriumDefenseShield_Name are pointing somewhere... else. Unfortunately, my attempts to fix the last two are being stymied by the sea of spaghetti that GalCiv 3 uses as a code base.

Does anybody have corrected versions of the necessary files or a list of orphaned base game technologies that were replaced, renamed, or killed while on Crusade for the v2.8 update?
