Re: Suns - collapse?
This is a very rare event, and I've never had it happen to one of my systems. I've heard you will get 2 years (20 turns) warning to evacuate the system.
(Just don't miss that one turn on PBW! You don't continuously get Messages on each subsequent turn!)
I believe the star explodes and becomes a nebula, destroying all the planets in the system.

Re: Suns - collapse?
You get 3 years; I made a scenario out of just such an event.
After that time, you will be left with no stars in the system (if one star of a binary goes, it takes the other with it), and all planets will be reduced to asteroid fields.
I believe it was said that stars with the unstable description/ability do not have an appreciably greater chance to go nova than otherwise normal stars.
In any case, if you build a ringworld or sphereworld, the star will be stabilized and can not go nova.

Re: Suns - collapse?
The Star - Unstable ability doesn't actually do anything. Just like the size, color, luminosity, etc. of the star; all (unfortunately) meaningless.

I guess that the map generator get's a perverse sense of joy at making people like me wonder/be nervous when one of those is sitting in my home system...

heh heh heh
It's not just the map generator, it's anything running on windows if you ask me! Ahh i've just finished that vital chapter to my story/finished a 5 page essay. What? is that an illegal Operation *Beeeeeeeeeeep**beep**beeeping**beep*
Well i remember starting a new game and 3 turns in my one and only homeworld was diagnosed with a core instability and was due to detonate in 2 or 3 years lol. Thats perverse!
So the instable core doesn't do anything? *BEEP* I just built a sphereworld to protect my system from going nova!!! *Sighs* i think this a large conspiracy somewhere down the line  |
