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.

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

Spatial warp events don't warp planets... would be cool if they did though!

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.
