Just curious if anyone else had this issue. I thought planet effect (moons in my case) were permanent effects so if it was abandon, player banned, reset, ect. when recolonized it would show up.

My situation:
Planet was on scan
legion occupied with moons on it
that player reset and when planet was reclaimed moons were gone.

They were naturally occurring moons if that makes any difference

The Moons should be there. The player that colonized the Planet should have been shown a message stating Large Moons had been discovered.

nope no message or moons or anything
just a crappy planet that would have been good for a mission, and now just wasted space since the stats are pretty bad.

hrm maybe I'll try sending in a ticket to dan

Are you certain it is the same Planet? When a player resets, all Planets are lost.

If you're sure it's the same Planet, it could be because the player reset and didn't abandon the Planet. The two actions may have different effects.

^^^^
That is correct, when you abandon it keeps the effects, if they reset the planet is wiped including any perm effects like rings moons ect.

No it is not, becuase sometimes biuldings remain, and in the screen shot of one of those, it showed that it had a bioshere on it.

The Lush Biosphere could have been discovered upon colonization.

you are mistakeing banned and reset. banned and deleted buildings stay, effects stay..... abandon buildings go poof effects stay.... reset everything goes poof

Okay, my bad.
