How do you not have a sun, how do you get rid of it without damaging all your planets?

Building a ringworld turns the sun into a planet (as far as the game is concerned), thereby making all Stellar Manipulation technologies requiring a sun to be present useless (such as building planets out of asteroid fields, or blowing up suns). |

You build ringworld and sphereworld around sun. Then sun is no more and therefore it can not be destroyed.

Actually, ludicrous numbers of fighters have been tested (for gold patch 1 IIRC) and do not cause overflow errors.

Re: Has anyone ever conquered a ringworld full of weapon platforms?
a long running (over 1 year) PBW game just ended. it was a moderated (GM run) game where the players were supervised by a "Judge"
The judge sat in one system, with unarmed escorts observing the rest of the map. in this system, was a sphereworld loaded with any facility that gave a bonus of any kind, and a full load of monoliths. since the game was on an old Version of se4, the program tended to crash when the sphereworld entered combat with a full load of WPs or fighters. so with a lowly 50 WPs, and a few hundred fighters, the sphereworld had to defend against rebellious players whom would prefer to take the rules into their own hands.
I have a saved game that contains a combat replay of a fleet of 300 DNs and Baseships breaking against the orbital and ground defenses of the sphereworld. If anyone wants to see it, send me an email.

nah. by choosing to be paranoid of using email, you willingly accept the resulting loss of accessability and convenience. no pity here.
