Spoogy, what are you talking about? Did you actually get an EVENT saying the star was going to blow in whatever years? Because that is the only way the star will blow.. the little descriptions on the stars are meaningless.
Oh, and as far as I know, no one has any breathable planets in their home system, other than their homeworld. Odd, eh?
Thanks to the PBW admins for helping us sort out my various screwups, too
