Where can I make a star?
 

I have nearby systems with a red dwarf and a "gas giant core" in them and I'm wondering if I can use them to make stars and then make sphereworlds around them. Is this possible? I imagine I'd need to blow up the red dwarf first. What about the other one?

Thanks!

1. Make star in center
2. Callapse star into a black hole
3. Destroy the Black hole
4. Make new star
5. Make sphere or ring world

(design 4 2500 kt bases. 1 for cables, 1 for plating, one with a ring world generator, and one with a shpere world generator.)

Design and construct 6 or 12 constructions ships and deploy them around the target star.

Build the desired number of plating and cable bases needed to make either a sphere or ring world.

Construction ship 1 Build 2 cable bases
Construction ship 2 Build 2 cable bases
Construction ship 3 Build 2 plating bases
Construction ship 4 build 2 plating bases
Construction ship 5 Build 1 each cable and plating
Construction ship 6 Build ring world generator.

Double for sphere world.

Double check with someone who know before doing this.

i guess that will take LOTS of time...

You can make a star in any system that doesn't already have one, and you can make a ringworld or sphereworld around any star, including the remnants. If there is nebula or black hole in the system, you need to destroy that first.

If I remember right, it takes 2.9 years to build a ringworld generator with a spaceyard III, and 5.4 years to build a sphereworld generator (if this isn't right, it's close). You can build either around any available star.

Another question:

If you build a sphereworld around an existing star, does the game cut off energy to other planets in the system, or does it just ignore it?

If you ring or sphereworld the Last star, you won't be able to build any more planets in the system, and solar resource generation will drop.

However, existing planets won't die or become uninhabitable / useless.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither the red dwarf nor the planet core should interfere with the creation of the new star or the RW/SW around it.
AFAIK steps 2, 3 and 4 are only for the cosmetic change of background and not necessary for your stellar manipulation.

Re: Where can I make a star?
 

Correct. Any time you have a sector star you can make a RW or sphere world out of it.

(sector star means one that occupies ONE sector and can be clicked on- all others are merely background pictures)

Hey! News flash!! Taz just had an Idea/Question!... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Now I know that you CANNOT build a star in a system that has one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
And I know that after building a Ring or Sphereworld, the old star is replaced by the world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
SO - If I do build one, CAN I now build ANOTHER star since the system NOW has no star? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

(Hurry! - Taz now having dreams of creating a 100+ sphereworld system... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Nope you can't.
