Default Plasma Instability Detected

A plasma instability has been detected within the start Zanthris star. (Which just happens to be my home system.) Our scientists predict it will destroy itself in approximatley 3 years. (I am guessing that this will destroy all the planets and ships in the system.)

Is there any research or items I can get to prevent it from blowing up? If not, I guess I better move all my population away for the system.

Oh well.

There is exactly one way to stop that star from going boom.

Build a ringworld or sphereworld around it.

That's it.

And yes it will destroy all planets and ships in the system.

Good Luck!

Yup. If you are still at level 1 then you're in big trouble. I suggest running like a teenage school girl going to a N'suck concert.

don't worry, as long as you have 250kt cargo and 900kt transports, you should be able to do it in time. panic build anyway

Any chance of winning the game before then with a mad rush?

This was with the event level, well I am not sure where I set it, at the default I think.

No, the game is far from over, but I am expanding to the ice and rock worlds now, so I don't think it will hurt me too much. The United Floral Empire just declared war on me, but I wiped out their big fleet, like 18 ships, and I only lost a light carrier, well and fighters too I quess.
