Is it one of the nebulae from SEIV classic (red, green, brown, blue, purple) or is it one of the new, swishy, multicoloured nebulae that came with Gold? Maybe the new nebulae are bugged.

Oh, and you are actually flying your nebulae-busting ship into the nebulae before trying Stellar manip, aren't you?

S_J - I've created stars at spaces other than the centre of the system before now. In my experience you can out it anywhere you like, you just can't make more than one.

I've never messed with a nebula either, but maybe try moving the ship to the exact center of the system, where the star normally is?

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.
