Spaceports are only for resource/etc points generated by colonies. You can remote mine a system with two dozen enemy spaceports and still the resources will go to your stockpiles.

And btw, how else would you think P&N Nomad players get their resources?

No, no, I'm pretty sure the immense difficulty was there before the resources came.

Sorry for bumping. In the game i mentioned i just now aquired the technology to create Stars. The component reads it can create stars out of systemsized nebulas though. The system i mentioned is empty apart from lots of Asteroid-Sectors.
Will it work ? Using a starcreation device ?

Yeah, star creation will work even in systems without nebulas. (I wonder if it even works in systems WITH nebulas!)

Yep it does work in systems with or without nebulae. The only thing that stops star creation in a system is if there's another star in the system.

Or system shield or ring-/sphereworld. Well... these were mentioned before but I'm not sure about system shield. Does it stop star creation? Never tried.

A system shield needs to be built on a planet, which meens you need a star in the system already, so you couldnt build another. I don't think there is any way around that.

Hidding a sphere world in a nebula is Fun.
