Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

2417.7 Heavy pollution and poor waste management have causes conditions on Arianna I (homeplanet of Eee) to deteriorate.

It has changed the conditions from mild to deadly in one turn.

EDIT:

Type := Planet - Conditions Change
Severity := Medium
Effect Amount := -20

That Event was a bust

As playing thru as the Primary (human player) >I do concur fully with this observation

Even though it is wrong? In my Conditions test, my home star went nova, even though there was a different star that it could have hit. There was no favoring of non-human homeworlds at all going on there.

With respect to Star Destroyed or System Event, we seem to be in agreements there is little protection from this; with default files.

I still am of the firm believe and this may become controversial. That as actually Playing as the Human Player (not relegating this responsibility over to the se4 AI protocol engine in a test or other approach) that a Human Players; rarely if ever will see an Event (to include somewhat low and med) hit his Home World Planet with the default Events files intact.

They may have some built-in deterrence, but they can and will be hit by any event. I have seen my single HWs hit by every possible type of event...

Oh, and check your email JLS.

EDIT: I can not reproduce the situation below any more. After the first plasma instability the new game starts always brought up catastrophic events within the first 10 years. So, HPs are affected... Just in some weird situations on my steam pc, they seem to be safe.
*********************
I guess, I could have found something. It sounds not feasible, but it seems to be true:

I have done 3 tests with different event FREQUENCIES in a 2 system galaxy. With these settings (but the percentages probably are not the problem) :

Event Percent Chance Low := 35
Event Percent Chance Medium := 50
Event Percent Chance High := 100

1) Event frequency high, no high/cat events for homesystem (like my other tests, also like my 800 year sim)

2) Event frequency medium, no high/cat events also

3) Event frequency low, and what should I say? Core instability in the home system after 5 years !!!

EDIT: Correction, now I see plasma instabilities very early with all event frequencies. I don't get what happens with some game starts I see no event, and then almost every turn...

Randomness.

Note how I got a core instability of my only system (out of two in the galaxy) in the conditions test game...

What events file did you use Fyron.
Adamant, se4 or 4.01?
