Re: This IS a bug right!?!
rdouglass,
You could have also built a transport and some troops on your SY base, and then taken one of those small colonies. Then you would have had some population to build with in that part of the galaxy.

Re: This IS a bug right!?!
If this is a random event as such, why do I know what it is building? And from what you guys described about the AI's behaviour, this "feature" seems quite unintentional!

Re: This IS a bug right!?!
lol
Could be worse, your entire warfleet could be transported to a blackhole's center where it is promptly destroyed....
Now you'll excuse my while I attend a funeral for the same fleet..
As for why you can see what it is doing... I dunno. bug!

The behavior, yes. The feature, no. It's an intended random event.

Re: This IS a bug right!?!
Just a shot in the dark, but do you happen to have a Scanner in range? IIRC, you can see what an enemy ship-based SY is building if there's a scanner in range.

Re: This IS a bug right!?!
Hey, you know, this could be used to exploit the AI. Keep closing wormholes behind you, and opening them up in front, so you never have a wormhole path to any AI empire. Allows you to send a fleet rampaging through the galaxy, and it will effectively have "infinite cloaking" since the AI will ignore it no matter what atrocities it commits. Just pick your battles to avoid attrition.
