One of my colonies, or better the planet where my colony was, disappeared! No event message, no asteroid field in the sector where the planet was. Just gone! A starbase, minefield and ship in the same sector are still there.
What is this???
Anyone seen something like this???

Yes ! Exactly like that ! Planet gone, no asteroids. But I don't understand the cause either It happend to the AI a couple of times in that game I think. This was pre-gold, and not the latest patch.

Sorry I'm not much more help, but I was so shocked I thought I had done something wrong. Like I got the message but the log window was set to construction or something -- I do that a lot. Please send the game file to MM, I just flaked when it happened to me.

I was doing something wierd at the time, but I can't remember what it was. I think I had just traded that planet with the AI for a better planet that was due to explode. Or something like that I can't remember
