Ship Eating Planet

from GalCiv2 Forums
I ran into a problem while playing the game where the planet showed up as an icon in the screen where you normally see what ships are in orbit around the planet. I could not build any more ships and any ships I sent to the planet were never seen from again.

I was playing in a large universe, custom race, and "challenging" level. Prior to the appearance of the ship eating planet, I think that there were about 8 ships in orbit. The action that occurred just prior to the planet going all hungry on me was a freighter sent out from the planet was destroyed. I went back to a prior saved game to resolve the problem.

Don't know if this issue has been posted before, but there you go.

I saw this once too. It appeared to me that a small freighter (the ones that show up after a path has already been established) was in the same spot as the planet. I waited one turn, and it moved on. My planet was back to normal. By the way, I was able to view that planets in orbit by going into the details screan for the planet. From there I could kick the ships out of orbit and use them.
