TA home system influence?

Playing TA, and I'm editing my home star system just for fun to start with a couple of extra good planets.  These planets inevitably have very low influence, the breakdown on the planet screen always says "0 from planet".  Any other planets I colonize in other systems get an appropriate planet influence.

 

It's the same in the most recent beta.

What's the population?  Are you starting out with these planets already colonized somehow, or are you colonizing them normally?

I colonize them normally.  The population doesn't matter, no matter how much they have, the influence from planet is always 0.

 

Is this just the way it is for home system planets beyond the initial world?  It seems the same happens to Mars when playing as the Terrans, or to any other home system secondary planet.  Is it a bug, or an intentional design decision?
