I guess you're right, it's a bug. You should send a savegame and explaination to Malfador,and hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch.

Re: I am the eternal newbie....nebulas... a ?
 

Gonna start a new game to make sure its not just a fluke and recreate it, then if it happens again Ill send a savegame.

I cleared a system nebula[e] back around Version 1.4x, from an arbitrary sector within the system.

Re: I am the eternal newbie....nebulas... a ?
 

Confirmed, the problem seems to be the following:

The old nebulaes can be cleared:

Name := Storm 5
Description := A nebulae system.
System Physical Type := Nebulae
Background Bitmap := Storm5.bmp
...

New ones cannot:

Name := Nebulae 5
Description := This system is composed of a large nebulae.
System Physical Type := Normal
Background Bitmap := nebulae5.bmp
...

But therefore the highest sight-obscuration is 3, that means with the best sensors, you will not be completely in a mist http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If you mod the new storm systems to Nebulae type, and then use a system storm clearing component on it, do all of the system's abilities get cleared too? Because, the new ones do more than just obscure sensors. It'd be kind of odd to clear the storm but have it still doing stuff.

Yes, the abilities get cleared too I'd think. Why? It works that way for the black holes.

I will consider it, but I am still not convinced if it could not be intended. Why are all the new style nebulaes just on obscuration level 3 ?

Mmmmh, maybe a question to MM would be a good idea.

Can you create a star inside the nebula system?
The system nebula might be destroyed when the star is created or is blown up.

A star can be created, but the freaky nebulae remains. Looks pretty cool, stars in a colorful nebulae.
