Planet Crashing

Does it bother anyone else that you cannot crash into planets and die? I hate when I'm flying at Celeritas and smack into a planet, but only go into normal space and spin out? It's just silly. Also, the same goes for stars.
 
Heh, yeah. Back before we went from beta to gamma and got wiped, one of the things I tried to do was smack into a star at full speed. So I created some distance between myself and the star, turned around, and put full power to engines. I managed to get up to 200C and like it was really really fast. Very difficult to keep the star perfectly centred, but I did. As I got closer, the speed started to drop, but I was still a clean 120C before safety cut in and spun me out. Wham, instant drop and virtually no hull damage either. A bit of a shame, but oh well.
 
Wait till next iteration of Elite when you transition from super cruise hitting the planet atmosphere and then go into supersonic speed through the planet atmosphere to ward the surface of the planet and if dont slow down you will crash on to the surface of the planet
