Suns - collapse?
Don't remember the exact wording b/c I am at work, but Last night I clicked on a star in one of my systems and it said something to the tune of "unstable star could collapse at any time"
What happens to the planets if the star collapses?
What if there are multiple stars in the system? (naturally or I produce one)
Any other input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Suns - collapse?
This is a very rare event, and I've never had it happen to one of my systems. I've heard you will get 2 years (20 turns) warning to evacuate the system.
(Just don't miss that one turn on PBW! You don't continuously get Messages on each subsequent turn!)
I believe the star explodes and becomes a nebula, destroying all the planets in the system.

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.

Re: Suns - collapse?
The Star - Unstable ability doesn't actually do anything. Just like the size, color, luminosity, etc. of the star; all (unfortunately) meaningless.
