Hello! I asked the team and it appears this is currently by design. It may change in the future, but currently it is working as intended
I see, but I'm not sure if that would be the way go as one second the planet looks unharmed and the next it's instantly stripped of resources. Before the change there would always be a animated transition to a destroyed state regardless of where I was if I clicked on the planet within seconds of being notified of destruction. Love the new animation though!
