Re: Exploding stars...
If a star is going to explode in 3 years, will you get a message every turn about the star exploding, or do you get only one message 3 years before the actual explosion? If you get only one message, people who take over races as replacement players can be in for some nasty surprises

Re: Exploding stars...
I also wish there was some buildable or researchable component that could prevent such things.

Re: Exploding stars...
You can prevent your stars from exploding by building a sphereworld or ringworld around it.

You just get one message.

Re: Exploding stars...
I turned the thing off. Just a pain. One game I had 4 stars explode in 50 turns. Kind of puts a damper on the game and does not seem real.

Re: Exploding stars...
I think the game really should give a count down every turn if a star is going to explode. One little message is just too easy to miss or forget.

Re: Exploding stars...
Totally agree with exploding deal countdown. Check out SJ's Homecoming scenario. Also, i don't think it is possible to build a ringworld (preventative exploding) around a star when you get the warning. even with advanced space yards tech.
