Beware of Asteroids!

[Rockinsince87]

Ok so something interesting happened to me today. 9/12/2020 11:38am EST a asteroid hit my starter planet as expected. I evacuated to a different system days ago because the starting system was not good. 

So I was recording the event with popcorn in orbit because why not? So the planet exploded and then the star system went into limbo for like 4 hours. 

After, I jumped back in and there is my planet...and my city. Airport beacons still working with city name in the text ect...

My city was missing from the empire list. I land, yep it's real. I go to the capitol. Yep the city is still going and producing goods. 
I put down a flag, no luck, still not in the city empire list. I removed all military buildings and then the capitol. Rebuilt the capitol, renamed the city and it showed backup.

I check in the report. Everything looks fine. Next minute I see this.
 9/12/2020 2:28 PM Asteroid orbited harmlessly out to deep space.


So is this a bug? Or did the great Architect Haxus smile upon me?
