Flying into a star could be more deadly

[Vincent Starson]

It would be cool if flying into a star or black hole was more dramatic and deadly. Solar wind turbulence, gravity wave turbulence, particle effects, sound effects, ship melting, kit pieces flying off, jettisoning hardpoints as emergency heat sinks... just thinking out loud here.

Hypothetically speaking, in the next 8 years, do you think it will change?

I hope so, the devs showed some screenshots shortly before scooping was added into the game, you could see condensation dripping down inside of the canopy, it never made it into live build, there was a whole bunch of cool stuff from early alpha & beta that got dropped.

My favourite was coming out of witchspace, on rare occasions the ship would have a rough exit while dropping out of the star, hard to describe but it was awesome.

I'm hoping one day you can have a career collecting hydrogen fuel from deep within the corona, scooping from deep within gas giants.

I hope so too, fuel scooping has the potential to be a real art form and very dangerous, but I don't know. What I do know is that IF they make a change to make them more dangerous we'll get another massive tidal wave of "OMG it's impossible to plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Make it easy again!"

I'd bet they bring those back with finishing touches on them when atmospheric landings are released.

Do you know where to find them/do you have links?
I tried but it's hard to find them.
