recently used one, and noticed that I was still able attack a planet to get them down to an invadable population. But when I tried to actually invade said planet (it had and still has no guards) the trace effect decided to show it's ugly head and inform me that I had wasted my energy. Not that it is that big a deal to me, since I'm quite certain that the planet I targetted is owned by someone who stopped playing (or at least has stayed the same level since I originally scanned it). I'm just wondering if the truce effect should have stopped me from attacking the poorly guarded planet before I even started.

It should have. I'll look into it.

Once question. Does the calming amp keep you from attacking NPCs as well or just players and their planets.

OneHitPoint, thanks again for the report - there was indeed an issue there and it has now been fixed.

silentknight, you are free to attack NPCs even when under the effects of one.

Yep. That is a beauty that I love. Everytime I fight players and got halycon'ed, I said to myself, "Gah! Wait 1 hour.. Oh wait, I can continue to fight NPCs to keep me busy!"

But one thing.. K. Virus trap (90% debuff on attack) still affect my performance against NPCs.. When I fought player and got 90% debuff and epic NPC got alerted by my comrade and I wasn't able to help and it got killed.. Can you please treat K. Virus like other traps that only works on players not NPCs? Thanks.

glad I was able to help.

And to the guy I thought was fair game, but I now know isn't by virtue of him now guarding the planet in question: I'm backing off. There doesn't seem to be a way in-game to easily contact peeps whose planets you've scanned so I just have to post here and hope you happen to stumble onto this by chance.
