From what I'm seeing, those eccm clouds are destroying missiles and fighters.
In Luyten, Mycopia's (and the planets surrounding it, Dawn, Necroph etc.) defense bases are firing, but missiles are being destroyed a short distance from the surface. You can see them exploding in a blueish flash, as if there's an invisible barrier there.
Fighters are doing something similar. Some get to fly around, but most are blown up in the vicinity of Mycopia. I even witnessed one time where all fighters were blown up at once, like a pulse shield.
And for clarification, this is only against enemy AI transports. Maybe there's something wrong with defense and fighter bases targeting AI transports?

I believe what is happening is that projectiles are affected by splash damage. You can see this with infantry pods- A ship crashing into a planet destroyed all of my infantry pods en route.

But what is it splashing on? It's strange, you can hear the defense bases firing, but all you see is a little blueish explosion near the planets surface a second later. And I know Mycopia is surrounded by that cloud, so I just put two and two together and figured that had something to do with it.

I'm not sure. DB missiles were completely nonefunctional last time I was in beta- though they'd make fireworks in space sometimes.

Yes, that problem they had then is the problem they're having around Mycopia right now. But I do know defense bases were working as of last night in non-eccm cloud areas like around Rafraue and Maat.

Ok, the latest update that introduced wormholes also fixed the defense bases. How? I don't know
