Because it can\'t. Put it up against a few perma-cloak fighters with decnt weaponry and it will lose. You will be relying heavily on turrets (if not entirey) as a ship that big will not turn. All the fighters need to do is pick off the turrets one by one. It won\'t be fast but your huge ship will fall to a few small ships.
I don\'t mean to sound rude, I am just pointing out a tactical weakness to your ship.

Also the weakness to stealth ships is shared by all other ships. It just effects large ships more. If a ship can fly, cloak, and jam constantly than it is hard to beat.

The idea is great, I support trying it, but, you do know all the blocks and stuff is loaded in your Graphic Card\'s memory, right ? You better have a 4GB graphic card to run... half of that.
As if I see it right, the size are:
2700 x 12000 x 2200
Where a star\'s size is, not technically but practically, 1000x1000x1000, inside the sun sector, where the entire sector is 2600x2600x2600, so no way that ship is forged from a star :P
Biggest build so far had 3000.
The latest game versions incremented a lot the performance and efficiency of loading huge stuff with less graphic card load, but still... I\'m not even sure if the max view range is able to show all that, as I think that 50, is 5000 m in meters.

How are talking forged IN a star here, or from it?
Because I really don\'t get how you could forge gas into something, it\'s just retarded..
And forging anything using a star as the foundry sounds extremely dangerous and counter productive.
Other than:
\"LOOKADATBITCHES, MY SHIP\'S ALLOYS BEEN MELTED IN A STAR. WHAT NOW?!?\"
\"Well we have these ships here that we did not require ridiculous protection to build, with the same alloys, because you don\'t actually need a star to reach those temperatures..\"
It\'s basically the same as saying \"MY CAR IS MADE OF GOLD, THAT MEANS IT\'S SUPER SOFT AND CAN\'T RESIST ANYTHING, BUT IT\'S MADE OF GOLD. I HAVE MONEY. HAHA!\"
This whole star-forged concept just seems incredibly silly to me..

If those metals are released upon going supernova, then why would it be any better to harvest them inside literally the hottest environments in the universe, when \"exploded\" stars look like clouds of elements in suspension? As so.
The whole concept just seems silly to me, that\'s all. It seems like one of those flashy \"look at me\" things to do.
