Default Re: Suns - collapse?

You get 3 years; I made a scenario out of just such an event.

After that time, you will be left with no stars in the system (if one star of a binary goes, it takes the other with it), and all planets will be reduced to asteroid fields.

I believe it was said that stars with the unstable description/ability do not have an appreciably greater chance to go nova than otherwise normal stars.

In any case, if you build a ringworld or sphereworld, the star will be stabilized and can not go nova.
