Bases on asteroids

I know Solarians, IMT and Privateers are allowed to set bases on
asteroid fields, but aren't bases on planets supposed to disapear when
they explode? I ask this because right now, they don't.

Of course this can be exploited mostly by Solarians: they can use the
targeter without worrying for anything but the ordenance, they blow up
their HW planet and come out with a homeworld with crazy amount of
minerals and a soil of 600 (on their HW they can auto-terraform to
climate 50+ in a blink). Nice, huh?

If any of those races are on a planet that explodes, they will lose the
base. So the only benefits they get are that they can beam down people
and create a base on asteroids. Other races can not do this.

If I recall correctly, you can not farm on asteroids. And the soil
increase only works for when you use a Proto-Matter Cannon on an
asteroid. (forming a new unstable planet with good minerals)

The only thing that concerns me, is the use of base shields on
asteroids. And solarian gets free base shields with high population.
Also, solarian on an asteriod can use their Stellar Matter Launcher
with out fear of blowing up the planet. But that isn't a big deal.
Only when they use it with crystal hyper laids. That is scary.
