Where can I make a star?

Many problems with this idea. First, you still need the bases. No matter if you build them with base space yard or a facility space yard, you have to build them in a starbase hull. Unless you are talking about a mod. And it takes about a dozen space yards to make a ringworld, and about two dozen to make a sphereworld. And it can only build one at at time. Your facility is going to take longer to build a dozen starbases one at at time then 12 pase space yards each building one starbase would take. Unless, again, you are using some mod.

Also, I don't think this idea would work to begin with. Because I am fairly certain the game only allows you to create a star in the center sector. I could be wrong about this Last point though. It's been a while since I have tried it.

lol you kinda berried me with that one
Yeah i would have to agree now that it's much more efficent in doing it the old fashion way...
But i am still very proud of that early achivement..

As far as the building of the star not in the center of star if i remember correctly that wasn't a problem

You don't have to build a star in the center of the system. I found this our when I was trying to figure out how to make stars (I've only had the game for a couple of weeks). I would pop into a system, make a star thinking I needed to be WAY away from the middle because, after all, a STAR is going off. That's a heck of a boom! Well, I got nothing and couldn't figure out why. Finally, I realized I was creating them in the same sector as my warp point and they were being hidden under the warp point graphic so I didn't see them right away.

Anyway, I figured out what I needed to know about where I could build stars and now have four sphereworlds in my empire. Frankly, I see little use for these things because they take so much technology that it seems like the game will be all but won by the time you have one. But, perhaps I'm wrong.

prestige, mostly. Someone who's more awake and could actually find it could probably post a funny link to a wiki page about that.

Yeah, sphere worlds are nice to have but it takes a really long time to fill them up. I have never played a game enough turns to research the technology, build the sphere worlds, and completely fill them as well. By the time I stop playing a game, my sphere worlds are less than half full, if I constructed any sphere worlds at all.

You mean this page {link}?
