unstable star

[capnq]

I thought that the 'star-unstable' ability gave a set probability that that star would start going nova each round. Are you telling me that it actually does squat? Or are you refering to the descriptive text of the star?

That's right; the only thing that ability does is cause that description to be displayed. It's one of several unimplemented features that are scattered through the data files.

If you timed your orders right, you could create a warppoint, warp in, create a star, and blow it up, and then close the warppoint in one turn.

Yep, that's what I meant

But... SEIV will not allow you create a star in a system that already have a star or artificial planet. Otherwise crystalline races could pull this trick: build 100+ stars in system and use Solar plants on all planets to get megabugs !
