Default Hmm, planet destroyed...?

Playing Andres SW Mod and got the mssg today -

Planetary Minister - Planet Sartinayian XIV which resided in the Sartinayian System has been utterly destroyed, sire. We had a colony of 9600M on the planet.


Where did this come from? I scanned the events that are used for this Mod and there isnt anything there closest is the planetary core thing. I checked to see if there were any intel ops that that could do such a thing, no dice.

First time it happened to me so i'm pretty curios.

BTW save + Reload does nothing for it, curios i decided to play from 6 turns prior, again, same date the planet was destroyed ?!

Annoyed anyone who might have stealth and planet destroying capabilities recently? It would explain the planet's loss, the destruction message, and the fact that it repeated, same turn, same planet after a reload.

Check over the events.txt file again, since it occurred at the same turn when you re-started..

The planetary core event normally gives you a three-year warning before the planet blows. Do you recall getting such a warning?

No warning, and i'm a stickler for checking over my event log. There is a planetary core explosing thing in the events.txt is that the message one would get generally if thats what happened?

Its my 2nd most important planet, ofc!

You wouldn't see the warning if you recently acquired the planet and if the warning had already happened before you got it. For example, if the planet belonged to another player, they got the warning and then they traded or gifted the planet to you, or you took it over with troops or intel.

Or maybe an enemy ship equipped with a Tectonic Bomb blew up the planet. Like Jack said, maybe the enemy ship was cloaked.

I did a quick test. The planet destroyed announcement includes the race that did it. Even if the ship is cloaked, it must decloak to destroy the planet, anyway. Have you been in control of this planet the entire time it was colonized, like Kamog said you may have missed the message.

[EDIT]
Quick recheck...if you haven't made contact yet, you make contact when you decloak.
