Newcomer / Intro I 'crashed' into a sun last night!

[flAzer]

Well, i think 'crashed' is the right word here.

On my way to a NAV site, and was interdicted. I submitted, and as my ship was bouncing around through the interdiction, I smashed into the barrier that surrounds the star. By the time I exited frameshift , I lost perhaps 2 points in hull - and that was it.

So does that count as a crash into a star ???

It's more of a crash out of supercruise. I had it a few times when I interdicted other ships. On one occasion I ended up inside the yellow sphere of the star. But that lasted just a second and then I was placed outside the star and the normal tumbling of a forced exit from supercruise started.
.
Apparently when you interdict a ship (or get interdicted) the game moves both ships at great speed along the tether. If something is in the way strange things can happen. I've lost a few targets during interdictions because they crashed into planet rings (no low energy wake was left behind). That immediately ended the interdiction but I wasn't dropped from supercruise.
