Homeworld shifted?

The devs know about this and are working on a fix. It's because you too over a planet of a player who was assigned a home world, but hadn't logged in yet.

That doesn't make sense though. For his homeworld to disappear, wouldn't that mean they originally assigned that homeworld to two players. I thought the issue you describe just meant you could lose colonies you took early in the game before other people joined not your homeworld.

I thought if a player took a world belonging to someone else if would just look like a regular world. Not sure why the HW marker would move.

It is very weird.
