The planet from nowhere!...
 Hey! I just had a planet show up that I know wasn't there before. In a system that I had already colonized, a large planet just showed up with my atmosphere!
Did anyone else experiance this?

Re: The planet from nowhere!...
I have had this experience.
Turned out to be an ally of mine with a planet creation ship that had cloaking ability. It went around making new planets out of the asteroid belts.

Re: The planet from nowhere!...
You may have also just brought in enough sensor power to break through a cloaking storm covering the planet... P&N has such things occur in the wonder systems.

Re: The planet from nowhere!...
You could have also just witnessed a spatial warp(?) random event. They tend to shift planets and ships around the galaxy willy-nilly.

Re: The planet from nowhere!...
Spatial warp events don't warp planets... would be cool if they did though!

Re: The planet from nowhere!...
A cloaked planet maker may be possible. There is no asteroid field in the system now. I AM playing against the TDM AI's in this game. I just never knew that the TDM's were programmed to use Planet Making components!

Oh yes they do. I can verify that. They will make use of lots of the advanced Stellar Manipulation components. I have seen warp openers, star destroyers, planet makers. I usually don't let them get too far past the star destroyer stage before I have to take them out.

Those also occur in FQM, so if you were playing with it, check for storms. 
Can a cloaked ship actually do stellar manipulation? I guess if it is a boring sequential game the ship could decloak, do SM and recloak all on the same turn, but I still don't think you can do SM while cloaked...
