PTF, what about High events, what are your thoughts here as it effects the HW?

Is it still true there is no protection what so ever; from the Star Destroyed Event?

Aaron did not mention high events directly, but indirectly as an affirmation to my observations. In simultaneous I have seen no high and catastrophic events effects at (first) HW, never, even no system events which could destroy the 1st HW. That's what he affirmed positively.

And yes, if the Star Destroyed event is a high or catastrophic event then it will never happen in 1st HW systems, but it is save just under simultaneous movement. Fyron, I guess what you might have seen has happened in turn based.

EDIT: What I am not quite sure about is if this goes for the AI also, because he talked about the players HW.

Its true for both Simultaneous and Turn-Based games. A players' homeworld
(or their first homeworld) is immune from catastophic events. We had this
in for early Versions of the game but took it out. It was too devestating
to have your home planet obliterated by an event.
