A bit away from the original topic (fixing the stupid moons) I have found out through an experimental game that choosing ice/none can be a fairly easy way to trick other human players, ice/none moons are fairly common and if you also choose "advanced resource storage" they give you a moderate number of facilities, the big boost is other human playes can't see them when they enter the system. lol
You can see them if you look carefully at the map. There would be a triangle, instead of a circle, indicating another empire is present in the system somewhere. Than, all you would have to do is start cliking around.
