Yeah, i tried it at the wormhole, at the center of the system, etc etc etc.

Must be a bug

Do you have enough supplies to operate the stellar manip components? Insufficient upplies shouldn't produce the error you describe but it should prevent you from using the component.

Has anyone else seen this error / successfully used a nebulae-killer in Gold?

Had quantum reactor, I.E. infinite supplies.

I guess you're right, it's a bug. You should send a savegame and explaination to Malfador,and hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch.

Gonna start a new game to make sure its not just a fluke and recreate it, then if it happens again Ill send a savegame.

I cleared a system nebula[e] back around Version 1.4x, from an arbitrary sector within the system.

Confirmed, the problem seems to be the following:

The old nebulaes can be cleared:

Name := Storm 5
Description := A nebulae system.
System Physical Type := Nebulae
Background Bitmap := Storm5.bmp
...

New ones cannot:

Name := Nebulae 5
Description := This system is composed of a large nebulae.
System Physical Type := Normal
Background Bitmap := nebulae5.bmp
...

But therefore the highest sight-obscuration is 3, that means with the best sensors, you will not be completely in a mist
