My asteroid is coming some time tomorrow. I got 3 ships and a station waiting with energy guns, on Berserk.
There might be a "trick" to avoiding the asteroid. This was when it was pay to play though, but only a few month old information
It seems if servers reset normally, or are down, it may cause asteroids to despawn..so people who are late to the party hope for a big limbo when it's coming.
But honestly, losing your homeworld doesn't mean anything other than for sentimental purposes. You can plop a colony on a moon and add tons of warehouses/storage to keep your stuff, and by that point if you still can't make the simplest of ships with any guns and really lose the planet, you can use Shipments to move everything to a better place of your choice. Due to the huge amount of building and pops you can hold even on small planets (in comparison to old Hazeron), the worst disadvantage of living outside Habitable is a -1 morale due to Harsh World.
I actually like this sort of addition and look forward to any sort of added crisis / pve / community stuff.
Game broke for me somehow.
If you use Discord and feel like it, Hazeron has a discord channel and folks know about all sorts of issues there.

Not unexpected, still disappointing.
Though, I'm surprised on him now gathering feedback on stuff. 2 days ago I gave suggestions to the manufacturing screen, and today he released an update with the additions and more from other people. He also listened and investigated stuff (asteroids being expensive on the GPU) and I feel like the game became better, also today.
Definitely a pleasant surprise and an 180 from stuff I've seen before.
