If they explode when they die, I guess it is best to avoid an old or sick Novakid. You might join them to the afterlife when they die beside you. I guess when there is a doctor performs a surgery on a Novakid, it is just like a SWAT defusing a bomb. When they cut the wrong one, BOOM! They'll explode.
Maybe something happens in a red giant Novakid that is a sign the Novakid is gonna explode within a couple days? That's the only explanation I can think of, unless Bietol considered it something different. And now that you mention it, I do wonder exactly HOW the medical field works for Novakids.
Novakid is a great race to play. I would even go as far to say they are better than most modded and all base game races.
