Probably you've run into a black hole machine on that planet -- if you kill it, you can then have your ships escape. :)

oic..ok, so i tried to kill it but it seems to have went into invisible mode as soon as my ships enters the planet. So i tried building some scout starships that's supposed to reveal it but it doesnt work....that's the only way to reveal the black hole machine right?

They shouldn't be invisible unless you're playing against something with a planetary cloaker, or perhaps the camouflager AI type.

I'm playing the random easier type and didn't change anything on AI's behaviour.

how do i counter this? how do i reveal the units?

I'm really not sure what's going on, it doesn't sound like they are really hidden.  Are they just not showing up on the planetary summary sidear?  In that case, you just need a scout with you.

wait...i think it's me not loloking properly. I was sending 1.5k units over and somehow it accidentally hid the black hole guy :P now i can succesfully destroy it!!

11 hours...and finally gonna crush the AI's home world!!
