Upcoming change regarding homeworlds for missing players

[Corinthian]

Although this option seems to solve an existing problem, I think there is a better option. Here goes, my 2 cents.
I would create a system that once a server started, all players that had joined are assigned there home world planets automatically without them having to log in. Inevitably some of those systems will go untouched as there will be some players who join a server but never actually play, or quickly go inactive... So be it. At least the planets and systems will exist from the start.
Was this option considered? If so, why did it get voted down??

The problem I see with the above suggestion is that if someone logged in a day late they could conceivably find all their home system outposts lost, and start the game in a huge hole.
