If one was to capture another Races Home World and then wanted to [set colony type] to a Mining Colony from Home World thru [f5 Colonies menu], would se4 allow this?

Nope, tested this recently: Message came up "you cannot change the type of your homeworld" or similar.

And some bad news for the AI , the HW saver seems to be ONLY for the human player. I tested some more 2 system NoAI simultaneous games with high event frequency where the star destroying event usually appears within the first 5-8 years. I am always alone after about 5-8 years, send a scout to the other system and it is destroyed. Once I have captured the AIs Homeworld at 2404.1 (tested with F5 if I can change the type, was not possible), and the system star exploded in 2405.0, that means, the AI scientists predicted the event at 2402.0 (the earliest possible event).
