Today I attacked and attempted to invade a good planet with no defense, attack, or cloak. I failed. Interestingly it said I had a 90% chance of success. So what I think is that there is some sort of cap on the invasion chance, so it is impossible for one to have higher than 90% chance.
If this is true, someone should put a side-note on the wiki where it talks about invasion chance equation saying that there is a cap in the max invasion chance.
Has this happened to anyone else before?

90% is the max chance of invasion, It should already be on the wiki somewhere.

you have 3 posts so chances are "it was a good planet" means that it wasn't a good planet. If you can scan a good planet chances are you should know this

90percent usually, if your attack is 3x or more higher than the defense on the planet.

95 percent if the above criteria fits, AND the owner is inactive.
