Precursor troop transports disintegrate after landing troops on a body. I've had this occur before, as have others. I assume it's a bug or a shortcut in the code, but if you like, you can imagine that the ship itself is a robot (or cluster of robots) that lands on the body and attacks your troops.
Nope, I had ships with active scanners within range of the moon. The ships disappeared entirely not just because they took the deep space tracking station. I also had another deep space tracking center in the Jovian system that I had seized about a week after the first that covered the moon as well. Attacking this system was a fairly large operation as it was the biggest precursor base I had ever run into. Over 10 ships and it required my entire fleet (but then my fleet is tiny).
They do run strange counter attacks. I seized one of their deep tracking stations once and within a month two ships showed up and made a beeline for the captured station. Once they arrived there was suddenly a MASSIVE precursor army on the planet that annihilated my force that had seized the station. The ships dissapeared in the process. My only guess is that the ships themselves were the ground forces and that when they landed they ceased to be ships and became ground troops.
Thankfully I was able to simply bombard the enemy troops into the ground with my fleet.
