Okay, you find out you have 1.0 year, 10 turns, till your star goes nova.
How long does it take to build 11 Starbases, around one star. By my reckonings teh 11th, and most important star base still takes 1.4 Years to build. By which time we are all dead.
I think there is a misprint there unless you know something I don't. The Ringworld starbase takes 5.4 years to build and even with 2 emergency build periods it only goes down to 3.9 years. Of course after the next patch changing emergency build you will only be able to build it in 4.4 years with emergency build.
Of course these numbers might change a bit if you take the bonuses to build rate in your game set-up.
