Default Giant Stars?

So if you've got a system or two that are dominated by giant stars, is there any way to get rid of 'em? The various star destroying torpedoes won't work, do you just have to leave them there?

Pretty much, yeah. I suppose you could mod it so that there is an invisible star at the centre of each of those systems. Then you'd be able to destroy that star, but I'm not sure what would happen then. You might be stuck with the same background pic, and you there wouldn't be any asteroids for you to turn into planets. You could build a new star though and create a sphereworld, but I think you could do that anyway.

Try creating and then destroying a Black Hole in the system.

What do you get when you destroy a black hole then? Just an empty system or does it have asteroids too?

When you destroy a black hole you get an empty system. But I don't think you can do this in the first place as I think to create a black hole you have to have a star in the system to begin with don't you? I mean a regular star, not one of these new giant stars.

Like I say, you could mod an invisible star into the centre of each red giant system and then perform stellar manip on that.
