Question on exploding star

[Puke]

sure you can. build a ringworld or a sphereworld. that removes the star from the system. no star, no kablooey.

""Star is prone to violent eruptions and has an unstable core"."

I've tested it. That setting does aboltutely JACK as described in abilities.txt. It may function in some other way, and he forgot to change the description, but it certainly doesn't work as described.

Although I am a relatively inexperienced player, I have never received a warning that my star is about to explode.... at least not until AFTER the fact. It just happened in a game I was playing this past week....again no warning.

[tesco samoa]

In one multiplayer game within 20 turns i got the message that my homeworld system was going boom in 30 turns.

Natually of course I lost the game.

Surrendered. But on the way another system went boom as well.

After that I did not like them.

Esp. when I was playing religious and had the lucky trait for that game.

I did like the humour in it.

Tough break! No one likes their primary to blow up... it certainly brings the property values down - my sympathies.

Are you sure they were exploding naturally and not because stellar manipulation by other player?

For an example of a Star-blowing-up Warning, see My scenario where your star has just started the countdown to a Nova.

Close the scenario box, and check the message log right away.
One of the Messages is "Plasma Instability".
