Creating stars

Too bad you can't turn nebulas into stars - that's how they form in real life, after all... make those nebula systems useful for something other than stealth bases! (then again, where would you get the planets?)

well you can destroy the nebulae and create a star there... but if you're there it'd be more efficient to just make a shortcut via warp-point opener.

it'd be most cool if nebulae systems would in fact have something hidden under them. i think that was one of the original feature promises/requests.

There used to be a bug where you could get planets in a nebula... that was cool, especially if your homeworld was there!

I see. So I can't create more than 100 stars to make the biggest colony in sphereworlds. Too bad.

You can probably mod this, and/or use the map editor.

You can also create storms on top of your existing planets during play.

I think that can still happen when using a loaded map and random location.

And IIRC once you create a shpereworld, the star ceases to exist

so then you can make a new one
