 Sci-Fi Science Blunders: Star Trek
The star may not be shining any more, and much of it may have blown off (which it wouldn't have), but all of the mass is still in the general area of where the star was.
EVEN IF the star's gravity went away, there would not be a very big change in the direction of the nexus in these few seconds, and certainly not enough for it to divert such a large direction.
So if you could manage to make the mass of an entire star disappear, the loss of its gravity would still take time to propogate out, And in the case of Star Trek Generations, the stars are light years apart so destroying the star would take years at least before its disappearance would be noticed.

Back when the first Star Trek feature was released in December 1979, the Trek franchise was still relatively modest, consisting of the original TV series, an animated cartoon series from 1973-74, and a burgeoning fan network around the world.

In December of 1979, when Star Trek The Motion Picture was released, it was apparent to audiences that this was no ordinary "shoot 'em up" science fiction movie--this was a serious film with complex plotting and "big" ideas.

When it releases this summer, The Fallen will be the first Star Trek game to follow the Deep Space Nine TV series.
While not as popular as the classic-Star Trek or The Next Generation licenses, Deep Space Nine still has a niche following, and with characters like Worf and O'Brien, it arguably has (or had) the most loyal Star Trek fan base of all the different TV shows.
But The Collective hasn't forgotten that this is a Star Trek game after all, and the designers have taken painstaking steps to ensure that The Fallen will be a true representation of the show it emulates, regardless of the relatively unorthodox way it plays in the scope of other Star Trek games.
