ghost ship?

I've encountered a Mortalan ghost ship. I can see it's orange triangular outline when I zoom out, but when I zoom further in, it disappears. It only shows up as a triangular marker without any ship graphics (as in the attached image). Any further zoomed in than the above pic, the triangle fades and it completely disappears. Is this the ultimate stealth technology? I recently captured "super stealth" technology after conquering a Mortalan colony, so I know they've had access to this tech. My adjacent battleship has most advanced sensor tech on board, but the Mortalan ship (which has been continually shooting my troop transports with torpedoes, luckily for no real damage) remains untargetable. Any <right-click> menu appearing only shows move-to options and no attack/capture choices. If it had any serious weapons on it, it'd be unstopable. But at this point it's just a nuisance. I'm waiting for the medium space station in top of pic to finish construction, hoping its long range scanners will help. Meanwhile, keeping the battleship with its hyper-deny nearby is preventing the ghost ship from escaping.

Is this a bug? or a game (stealth) feature?

I would post a save so that Elliot can look at it. It could be cloak kind of thing....GP
