Blowing up a star

[von_toaster]

Races with Temporal Ship Yards, combined with a nice score in maintenance reduction are usually a pain in the behind for creating quickly and cheaply star destroyers and black hole creators and such.
I destroyed a few stars to avoid blowing up fleets after fleets on heavily defended homeworlds (that, and I'm also a tad lazy, it cuts down my work...)

This is a related ?. Now that you've blown up the sun and everything else. Asteriods are the remains. Correct? You have a planet builder, to reconstruct the asteriods. After it is finished, can it be repaired, to be used again? OK, so it's a dumb ?. I was just thinking how expensive it would be to rebuild the entire system. If you had to build "X" number of planet builder's that's all.

I think one is enough, with a repair module.

Nice feature is that instead of huge planet with two tiny moons you get 3 huge asteroid belts in the same sector rhat can be converted to 3 huge planets

After you destroy the sun, you have to create a sun to use the asteroids. Then create planets, but include a space yard to repair the planet creator (an ordinary repair bay won't do it as of a recent patch).

What are you refering to here? I have never seen this happen before.
