Stars are no where near hot or dangerous enough.

I must ask. Why do suns look so dim? Do our windshields auto polarize or adjust to the brightness somehow? And if they do realistically everything else other then the sun shouldn't be visible while we're near it.

Well, actually there are no stars visible when flying near a sun!
The question is, however, how accurate the falloff-calculation is when increasing the distance to the sun. I can not comment on this.

Yes yes... please make the stars more dangerous... I really really NEED another reason to be frustrated with this game. My current list isn't nearly long enough and it's not like I don't get destroyed by something or someone else every other time I frickin' play. [mad]

I usually just dip into the corona, reaching maximum scoopage for a brief moment than pull out while charging my friendship drive. With Class 6A, that goes really quick.

But for the general discussion:
When you look at where you die, it happens almost exclusively in spacedock. Docking/undocking is by far the most dangerous activity in the game currently. It seems the player base is happy with it, as they welcomed the speeding mechanic changes last year that made it even more dangerous.

If you are dying mostly while trying to dock, you're doing it wrong. I never die while trying to dock. Ever.
