Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

[geoschmo]

Has anyone seen a catastrophic event actually hit a homeworld specifically? This is a long thread and I haven't read it all, so maybe it's been posted. I'm not talking about the star beign destroyed, but the planet itself. Has anyone had a homeworld have it's core go unstable and blow up?

See I suspect that there is some protection coded in to protect the master home world from catastrophic events. This would explain why it seems to be impossible to take one using PPP. Intel and random events are related, probably use some of the same code.

But probably the game just isn't smart enough to realize that by blowing up the star in your home system it's also blowing up your home world. That's just another object in the system with the star at that point. Ownership of planets in the system doesn't transfer to the star in that system as far as the game is concerned.
