I am the eternal newbie....nebulas... a ?

[NKD]

Well, I made a ship to destroy a nebula in a system so I could make a star there, But it cant seem to find the nebula, says there aint one there.

[dogscoff]

Are you confusing nebulas and storms?

A nebula is a cloud that takes up an entire system. A storm just takes up one sector. They can both be destroyed but they require differnt components. Can't remember what they're called but the storm creator is early in the stellar manip tree and the nebula destroyer is toward the end.

Apologies if you knew all this already...

[NKD]

Yes, I know that.

Its big and huge and the solar system info says "This system contains a nebulaleaeae"

You probably need to use the star creating component at the central square in the system (either sector 6,6 or 7,7)

[dogscoff]

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?

[dogscoff]

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.

[Gurduloo]

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?

[NKD]

Yeah, i tried it at the wormhole, at the center of the system, etc etc etc.

Must be a bug

[dogscoff]

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?

[NKD]

Had quantum reactor, I.E. infinite supplies.
