Ok, here's the scenario. I own a 21PQ planet, everything is great, have 8 ships in the starport. Along comes one of the other races smaller ships (we're not at war) and somehow he ends up in orbit of my planet. Now when I click on the planet, I see the picture of his lone ship and a second picture with my planet with a number 0 in the box.

I can still get "into" the planet and make changes to structures, upgrade, etc, but I cannot get access to my 8 ships that are there, somewhere. I have tried sending ships to the planet (twice) to see if I could rout him, but I could not. Both times the ships I sent "disappeared" into the planet somewhere and now it states that my starport is full (which makes sense because now there would be 10 ships there).

I do not want to go to war with this civ, as they are the only ones that I am not at war with and I am "protecting" them from outside influence, as they are blocked in a corner by my empire. I also have all twelve trading routes established with this civ so they are extremely important to my economy.

Might this be a "bug" or is there something I might be missing. I cannot figure out how one of another civ's ships could be in orbit of my planet in the first place.

Thanks!
