Do I redraw my hand after an Essence alien is added mid-game?

The Warp (designer) commented that no redraw is needed and suggested house-ruling mid-game additions.

No, a redraw is not needed when an Essence alien joins mid-game; it is a matter of taste. For Game Setup aliens such as Explorer, the designer suggests ignoring the setup rule if it does not give anyone an undue advantage or disadvantage, though they need an unused color to join.
