Status: offline 		Yo, anyone ever seen this kind of supernova graphic before in DW vanilla or ROTS? I've seen this picture in the first game after patching to 1.0.7, no mods installed:


Usually I get the contours only, not the explodey center

Cheers

As Data's signature states, igniting stellar cores..

You'd have to play a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGG game for it to happen. A few hundred million years might do it for you to see one, at realistic chances.

But colonizing an entire galaxy in a few hundred years is realistic? :p

Yeah, but with my luck, the star that goes supernova would be my home planet...
But yes, I agree.

Status: offline 		The average for a supernova explosion in our galaxy is 1 every 50 years, so it's entirely possible to have supernovas and novas as random events in the game.

Of course, it's less likely that 1 of the 1400 stars in the game's galaxy will go nova. Compared to our galaxy which is estimated to have as many as 400 billion stars.

Status: offline 		Tjhkkr. It´s not that unlikely to loose your homesystem by a supernova. This crap happened to me in "birth of the federation". I was playing as klingon and my only system went supernoca in turn 3 .

But it´s a great idea. A changing universe would make the game much more intresting. Supernovas, planets changing their orbit, asteroid impacts, eco-catasterophis, pleagues....planetary earthquakes destroying your invrastructure......lucky as I am every negative event will trigger right after I press the start button
