[Bug] Clairvoyance ability

The Revelation's Clairvoyance ability can produce out-of-date information.

At the start of a game scout an unoccupied planet that is near a hostile empire, and then carry on running your own empire ...

During this period that empire will most likely colonize that system.

Later on, if you then use Clairvoyance on that planet it shows the hostile empire's structures and ships, but the planet still appears to be unoccupied.

It almost looks as if the planet has recently been abandoned or bombarded.

If you then send a ship to that system you can see it very much occupied and has a healthy population, ie hasn't just been colonized since using Clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance doesn't always go wrong, but in the last game I noticed it about 3 or 4 times.

Latest Revelation oddity I noticed was with Provoke Hysteria (PH)

While finishing off an Advent Rebel opponent, it counter attacked with a couple of dozen of frigates  .... and a level 8 Eradica. 8(|

One of my Revelations was using PH on the colony at the time I ordered the fleet to engage the titan.

However the particle & sound effects for PH didn't stop, so it appeared as if the Revelation was using its ultimate ability on the titan.

It wasn't of course, as the info-card showed that the ship was just "attacking".
