Solar Flare

Here's a bit of unusual video.

I've never seen or heard of anyone actually doing this. Was a total fluke and happened 20,000 LY from Earth during an exploration trip.

Cool! Wouldn't it be cool if the HUD would get all glitchy from all the stuff that the star is spewing out?

If the radiation effected the HUD, the Commander would be in some serious trouble. If you stop by a star, you can hear the sound the radiation causes.
 
Got caught in a solar flare about a year ago I left the station Hardy Hub into the middle of this, the FSD would operate for a few seconds until the high temperature shut it down I escaped but with a fair bit of damage.

BTW Hardy Hub is 7 LS from the star bonkers!

Now that I'd like to see for myself.:D
 
You sure? ;) back then all I had was the Cobra and barely enough to cover insurance!

I didn't have video recording capabilities at the time but all the swirls and spirals have a flowing effect like a river of fire fantastic to see, however the ship was at 79% just flying along so trying to SC pushed it over 140%

I wasn't thinking of radiation but more of electromagnetic charges that even screws up electrics down on earth.
 
Gamma radiation is electromagnetic, ditto X ray and UV - all of which are likely to be pouring out, affecting the hud and pilot - which is why ships are probably heavily shielded against them by default, as there's plenty of bad stuff ejected into star systems at random all the time which the ships would have to be protected against.
 
2 days ago i saw this while i was in Betelgeuse
