Yeah, my cloaks are on (both the armor and the cloaking devices). Are ships automatically detected if adjacent to a planet? Kinda grasping at straws here. It seems it should work, but it doesn't keep the AI from finding cloaked ships. I guess I need to send a game turn to MM.

As for the ring/sphere worlds, I figured out that I could do it with a lot of space stations dedicated to single components. I is a shame that the components aren't defined as "units" instead. Then they could be manufactured, transported, and dumped at the site.
