My Star is going Nova!!!

Ouch....I've been playing a game about a week and have a good lead and have reached the stage where I'm trying to figure how fight everyone off........ I just got a warning that the star in my Home(and best) system is going nova in 3 years!! Any way to survive this???

Sorry but there is nothing you can do to stop this.
Evacuate your population, scrap the facilities and if you really mean trade the doomed system to another empire!

But most imporntantly, write down the date you got the message and the datet he star will go nova becauset that first warning is the only warning you'll get. For some reasons your advisors doesn't seem to think it's of any importance to keep reminding you of such insignificant little details like your homesystems star saying bye bye with a vengeance....

Jubala is right - if you don't make a note somewhere you'll forget about it. I always thought that should be fixed.

Instead of writing it down, you could right click on the star map (lwr right), a new map will pop up, then you can, I believe lft click on any system and write a note relating to that system.

I also was told my best system was doomed. I loaded a saved game (about 2 turns old) and when i reached Judgment Day this time....no message, no doomed system. It seems that it's a random thing.

Can I just quickly ask something here which seems to be the same sort of thing? I have just been told that a planet of mine has a Core Instability and will destroy itself in one year.

a. this doesn't sound too nice, should I be worried?

b. is there anything I can/should do about it?

Evacuate and run away

Reloading a save worked.

Guess its a random event.Speaking of such,are they all negative?Seems that way.....

If you are sufficently advanced, you may build a ring/sphere world. I believe this negates those effects.
