I was recently complaining about never seeing a random event, but a few nights ago a repair cruiser from an ELITE +42% fleet was spacial anomalied accross the quadrant, causing the fleet to be broken up and lost all experience. ARGH!

I dont think you can use a spacial anomalie to establish your self in another part of the glalxy. without a warp path to trace back to a homeworld, you can not actually gather any resource points, and you cant make contact with aliens (sure your ships can fight them, but you will have no diplomatic contact without a warp path between them and your homeworlds.) so they cant surrender a homeworld to you. wierd, eh?

You can establish an empire, if a shipyard base/ship is moved it would be possible by using troops to take over a planet.

What about using that Stellar Manipulation tech that lets you blow up a star? Will that destroy the star w/o destroying the worlds? Or will that just destroy everything in the system also?

By the way, GREAT MOD Mr. Mophisto.

Had another quest but can't recall it right now - I'll be back.

The Stellar Manipulator star-destroyers will both take out all the planets as well as the star. I don't know if the Stellar Plasma Sphere could make a stable star in place of an unstable one. I've never had the tech and opportunity to test it at the same time!

The System Gravitational Shield facility is supposed to stop stellar manipulation in a system but the description (at least, and possibly the actual functioning) only mentions nebula and black hole creation. I don't know if it'd stop the Stellar Nucleonic Torpedo, which blows up the star without making a nebula, or if it protects against random instabilities even if it does. Has anybody been able to test it until such circumstances?

I'm not sure what to think about sphere- and ringworlds aborting a stellar explosion. It seems pretty illogical to me, and I suspect they aren't actually supposed to be able to function that way, but there should be some way to prevent the big bang.
