Re: Planets in storms?.
Storms can cover up a planet but its name is still visible. So an enemy can't attack the planet but it knows it's there.

Re: Planets in storms?.
The storm gets named as a moon of the planet. So it would be Cephedri III A, for example.
The next patch should clear up the issues with cloaked planets, it seems.

I've never thought that.  However, IIRC the upcoming patch fixes this so you don't have to rename the planet.
