Agreed and I believe this High/Cat HW protection also applies to the AI as well  |

I have inserted the original mail into my Last post, just in case of my language ability could have failed on this important issue.

Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?
I assume that captured 1st HWs would be not protected by this rule, because they are nobodies 1st HW any more. So, if you see a HW exploding, next question would be if it has been a captured one.
What happens if a captured HW would be taken back by the origin race?  I don't think so. |

Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?
Once the HW changes control (either to another race or being glassed, under no control), it loses HW status. It can still have the "homeworld" colony type, but that is meaningless. |

Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?
That is a good question. 
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? |

Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?
I also have seen a Human Players Home System blow up from a Star Destroyed but that was Standard movement not Simultaneous
PTF I think there is a lot of testimonial on this thread that Players have seen the STAR DESTROYED Event effect both Human Players and the AI Home System. Some of the players where SJ, Fyron, JLS, Jake Monroe and me.
Isnt there a scenario that the Human Players Home System does blow up by a Star Destroyed?
I also concur with you and JLS tests that Home Worlds only are NOT effected by High and Cat events.

, 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).
