Simultaneous Movement (PBW) Stellar Manipulation?

In one of my PBW games I have just completed a black hole destroyer. How do I pre-set the ship's orders so that it destroys the black hole without getting sucked in first? It would be so embarrasing for that to happen...

Just give it movement so that it finishes it's turn more than two spaces away from the center. Shouldn't be any more difficult than moving through the system would be.

You can destroy the black hole from anywhere in the system.
So, warp in, and then destroy the hole while you're still near the edge of the system.

Geo and SJ, thanks for the help.

I'll send the ship in through the wormhole that is farthest away from the black hole, and then set the next turn's order for destruction. It will be nice to have it out of the way.

One more question for you: Does stellar construction work the same way? Can I do it from anywhere in the system, or do I need to go to the center of the system to create a new star (where the black hole used to be)?

You can make a star anywhere in a system

... and that's where the star will be. So you can get a star in the corner, or whatever.
