Are you sure they were exploding naturally and not because stellar manipulation by other player?

Re: Question on exploding star
 

For an example of a Star-blowing-up Warning, see My scenario where your star has just started the countdown to a Nova.

Close the scenario box, and check the message log right away.
One of the Messages is "Plasma Instability".

SJ, I tried your scenario but the game could not load it. I unzipped all of the files into the SEIV\scenarios folder, anything else that I must do?

Re: Question on exploding star
 

I have questions about Unstable stars.

I haven't yet had a star naturally explode on me yet, but in one of my current games, 5 of my systems have unstable stars.

I checked stellarabilities.txt and the other appropriate .txt data files to try to figure out what determining factors play a part in unstable stars exploding.

So far as I can see, the unstable star sector types have a 0% chance of exploding, as set in stellarabilities.txt. But some of you say that you have had stars explode on you before.

So, what is determining when stars explode naturally?

Re: Question on exploding star
 

Unless I am mistaken, the unstable star tag doesn't mean anything, just like star color, age, brightness, etc.

What causes stars to explode is a random event which requires you to have set event severity to catastrophic at the beginning of the game.

I like the fact that you can create and destroy stars but stabilize them. Nah http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Question on exploding star
 

So am I safe in assuming that the unstable star tag was supposed to do something, but Malfador just never got around to implementing the ability?

I am guessing a resounding 'yes' is going to be heard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
