I have seen wierd things happen when you are running a game with one mod but accidentally load it under another mod. Does that make sense? Like if you are using the mod launcher and select None under the mod but load a saved game which was saved under TDM Modpack.

if it's not due to the mod, it sounds like a really strange glitch.

Gandalph, it sounds as if he actually went to check on the system and everything was gone.

I had a similar event in one of my games: a planet with a colony of mine disappeared completely (no asteroid field left, no log message). It was a random event because when I replayed the turn it didn't occur again.
Try to replay your savegame again to see if it happens always or just randomly.
When I reported this here on the forum some beta-testers confirmed they had seen something similar as a rare event.
Just see it as an undocumented event of the game: there are strange things happening in the universe!

1. Nope. The colonies in the system disappeared. As I say, it's happened a few times before but I went back to a savegame from right before the instance, played through the turn and the colonies were still there. I definitely think it's some kind of bug.

2. I didn't know stealth armour gives you cloaking ability. The other reason it doesn't make sense to me is that these ships of mine had their armour from the beginning yet had no cloak ability. It's only when far into the game that my ships mysteriously gain this cloak ability.

Stealth armor of any level does give you the cloak ability. You may not have noticed it previously.
